The Accelerator Function Unit (AFU) for this new IBM CXL Flash Adapter retains the same host interface as the previous generation. For early prototypes of the new card, the driver
with this change behaves exactly as the driver prior to this behaved with the earlier
generation card. Therefore, no card specific programming has been added at this time.

Code changes to help cxlflash recognise the new card have been
upstreamed. Below are the commit ids in cxlflash and cxl (kernel)
respectively. We would like to see them backported to Ubuntu 16.04
Xenial release.
