Flashing HCA Firmware

mst start
mst status
flint -d /dev/mst/mt4099_pci_cr0 -i fw-2_9_7000-MCX354A-FCA_A2.bin burn

mst start loads the appropriate kernel modules and creates the /dev/mst nodes for flint to use. There's some way of specifying PCI bus/slot/function addressing, I think, but I forgot what it is.
