These firmwares were obtained from the beta "Chelsio T5/T4 Unified Wire
v2.12.0.2 for Linux" release. Changes since last release are listed in the
"Release Notes" accompanying the beta release and are copy-pasted here as well.
The plan is to have only GA'd firmwares in any -STABLE FreeBSD branch so I'll
MFC this (after 2 months) only if it ends up in a GA release.

includes support for the NIC and TOE features of the 40G, 10G, and
1G/100M cards based on the T5.
The ASIC is mostly backward compatible with the Terminator 4 so cxgbe(4)
has been updated instead of writing a brand new driver. T5 cards will
show up as cxl (short for cxlgb) ports attached to the t5nex bus driver.
