Manual Mode `update` Subcommand

The target set for the update command maps one target to one supported firmware image type that is supported by the tool.

The update subcommand supports the following targets:

expander-firmware
expander-manufacturing_image
disk-firmware
sas-bridge-firmware
sas-controller-firmware
sas-controller-bios
sas-controller-fcode

Only one firmware image and one component can be specified per execution of this command.

Options for the update subcommand are shown in the following table.

Short Options	Long Option	Descriptions
`-n`	`--device_name`	A mandatory option, with a mandatory parameter, to designate the device to update. The name is the mapped name, which you can retrieve by using the `list` command.
`-o`	`--filename` `filename`	A mandatory option, with a mandatory parameter, designating the name of the firmware image file that is to be applied.
`-r`	`--reset`	Do not use this option. If you need to reset, use the reset subcommand. See `reset` Subcommand.
`-d`	`--dry-run`	Optional. Checks all input, executes an available dry-run `check` command on the firmware and component, but makes no permanent changes.

The following are update command examples:

fwupdate update disk-firmware -n c1d1 -f diskfirmware.file
fwupdate update expander-fpga -n c1x2 -f expander.fpga -d -r

Note - Only one device can be specified per fwupdate execution. Every device that needs to be updated will have to be run as a separate fwupdate command.
