Title:
  [LTCTest][Opal][OP820] update_flash -d option is throwing
  /usr/sbin/update_flash_nv: 595: [: x47: unexpected operator

Status in powerpc-ibm-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in powerpc-ibm-utils source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]
  On an OpenPower system, '/usr/sbin/update_flash_nv -d' will print a gratuitous error message, and will not correctly report failures to query the firmware version.

  [Test case]
  1. On an OpenPower system (as determined by the presence of the file /proc/device-tree/bmc), run 'sudo update_flash_nv -d'.  Observe that an error message is printed before the version information.
  2. Install powerpc-utils from xenial-proposed.
  3. Run 'sudo update_flash_nv -d' again.  Verify that no error message is printed.

  [Regression potential]
  Minimal.  This is a targeted, one-line fix for a bashism in a shell script.

  update_flash -d option is throwing [: x47: unexpected operator message

      update_flash: Fix bashism issue in
  opp_display_current_fw_version()

      Ubuntu uses dash, not bash. We hit below warning on Ubuntu system.

      root@abc:/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,opal/sensors# update_flash -d
      /usr/sbin/update_flash_nv: 595: [: x43: unexpected operator
      Firmware version:
      ....
      ....

      == is a bashism. Replace it with =.
