+Validating a PLDM firmware file
+===============================
+
+To simply validate a PLDM firmware file, and verify whether it applies to
+the device, set the ``dry_run`` flag in the ``pldmfw`` context structure.
+If this flag is set, the library will parse the file, validating its UUID
+and checking if any record matches the device. Note that in a dry run, the
+library will *not* issue any ops besides ``match_record``. It will not
+attempt to send the component table or package data to the device firmware.

Now that devlink core flash update can handle dry run requests, update the ice driver to allow validating a PLDM file in dry_run mode. First, add a new dry_run field to the pldmfw context structure. This indicates that the PLDM firmware file library should only validate the file and verify that it has a matching record. Update the pldmfw documentation to indicate this "dry run" mode. In the ice driver, let the stack know that we support the dry run attribute for flash update by setting the appropriate bit in the .supported_flash_update_params field. If the dry run is requested, notify the PLDM firmware library by setting the context bit appropriately. Don't cancel a pending update during a dry run.
