A firmware contains hundreds of files, and a firmware patch could be a single file or several
files of a firmware. Since firmware 1.2.0, Vigor3900 supports Firmware Patch feature which
allows upgrading a specific firmware patch only, but not the whole firmware. The benefit is
Vigor3900 doesn't need to reboot the system after updating the firmware patch.
