External topology devices (e.g. PHYs) connected to controller or to SoC might have a firmware engine within the device and the firmware is usually loaded from NVM connected to the topology device. In some cases, those firmware packages might need to be regularly updated in a secure way to prevent malicious user to burn malicious firmware into the topology device. In other cases, the topology device firmware might be burned independently, as burning the NVM attached to the device might cause the device to stop function but could be fixed without permanent damage. SoC topologies also enable mezzanine card, with an ID EEPROM within it. This ID EEPROM might need an update also. This patch provides these abilities.
