Change Details

After downloading the firmware to a device, it's inquiry data likely will change. Force a rescan of the lun with the CAM_EXPECT_INQ_CHANGE flag to get it to record the new inqury data as being expected. This avoids a 'camcontrol rescan' on the device which will (uselessly?) detach/attach the disk (da, ada) device. This brings fwdownload up to nvmecontrol's ability to do the same thing w/o changing the exposed nvme/nvd/nda device. Sponsored by: Netflix
