Adds Firmware Interface support to ironic, we would like to receive
feedback since this is a new feature we introduced and we as a developer
community have limited hardware access, reach out to us in case of any
unexpected behavior.
- Adds version 1.86 of the Bare Metal API, which includes:
* List all firmware components of a node via the
``GET /v1/nodes/{node_ident}/firmware`` API.
* The ``firmware_interface`` field of the node resource. A firmware
interface can be set when creating or updating a node.
* The ``default_firmware_interface`` and ``enabled_firmware_interface``
fields of the driver resource.
- Adds new configuration options for the firmware interface feature:
* Firmware interfaces are enabled via
``[DEFAULT]/enabled_firmware_interfaces``. A default firmware
interface to use when creating or updating nodes can be specified with
``[DEFAULT]/default_firmware_interface``.
- Available interfaces: ``redfish``, ``no-firmware`` and ``fake``.
- Support to update firmware of BIOS and BMC via ``update`` step, can be
done via clean or deploy steps, the node should be using the
``redfish`` driver and set the ``firmware_interface``.
