As there might be firmware fixes for performance enhancement in latest version
of firmware image, the firmware update might be needed for getting high performance.
Check with the local Intel's Network Division application engineers for firmware updates.
The base driver to support firmware version of FVL3E will be integrated in the next
DPDK release, so currently the validated firmware version is 4.2.6.
Users should consult the release notes specific to a DPDK release to identify
the validated firmware version for a NIC using the i40e driver.
