mstreg can't access registers while mlxreg can

[kcgthb]

Hi!

Trying to use mstreg, which as far as I understand is the mstflint port or MFT's mlxreg, I noticed that it doesn't seem to be working the same way:

For instance, trying to get PAOS registers from a MQM8790 switch fails with mstreg:

# ./mlxreg/mstreg -d /dev/mst/SW_MT54000_sh03-isw-c03_lid-0x0010 --reg_name PAOS --get
-E- FW burnt on device does not support generic access register

while it works fine with the mlxreg version from MFT:

# mlxreg -d /dev/mst/SW_MT54000_sh03-isw-c03_lid-0x0010 --show_reg PAOS
Field Name      | Address (Bytes) | Offset (Bits) | Size (Bits) | Access

This is with mstflint version 4.14.0:

# ./mlxreg/mstreg -v
mstreg, mstflint 4.14.0, built on Apr 16 2020, 10:29:00. Git SHA Hash: N/A

Is this expected?
Thanks!

mstflint does not support IB devices
it is an opensource tool to work over pci device
if you need to work with IB devices [mst ib add functions] , please work with MFT
