+  ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_FILE_NAME``  string  firmware image file name

+  =======================================  ======  ===========================
+
+The firmware update process consists of three logical steps:
+
+1. Downloading a firmware image to the transceiver module and validating it.
+2. Running the firmware image.
+3. Committing the firmware image so that it is run upon reset.
+
+When flash command is given, those three steps are taken in that order.
+
+The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_FILE_NAME`` attribute encodes the firmware
+image file name. The firmware image is downloaded to the transceiver module,
+validated, run and committed.
+
+The optional ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_PASSWORD`` attribute encodes a password
+that might be required as part of the transceiver module firmware update
+process.
+
+The firmware update process can take several minutes to complete. Therefore,
+during the update process notifications are emitted from the kernel to user
+space updating it about the status and progress.

+
+The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_STATUS_MSG`` attribute encodes a status message
