So, this is the current support. Ok.

This would include firmware update? What about differing levels of
device/firmware reset? I.e. I think some of our HW has function level
reset, device wide reset, as well as EMP reset. For us, only EMP reset
would trigger firmware update.

This is for update without reset, right?
