DESCRIPTION

       The  Firmware  Image  Download command downloads all or a portion of an image for a future
       update to the controller. The Firmware Image Download command downloads a  new  image  (in
       whole or in part) to the controller.

       separate Firmware Image Download commands. Each Firmware Image Download command includes a
       Dword Offset and Number of Dwords that specify a dword range.

       The  new  firmware  image is not activated as part of the Firmware Image Download command.
       Use the nvme_fw_commit to activate a newly downloaded image.

RETURN

       The nvme command status if a response was received (see enum nvme_status_field) or -1 with
       errno set otherwise.
