Known issues in the current version of NVSDM library

 This is a list of known NVSDM issues in the current release:
 - The following ConnectX inbound and outbound byte counters are calculated over a very short period of time instead of the intended behavior of being calculated over
   the lifetime of the NVSDM library.
   - ConnectX counter ID NVSDM_CONNECTX_TELEM_CTR_PCIE_LINK_INBOUND_BYTES
   - ConnectX counter ID NVSDM_CONNECTX_TELEM_CTR_PCIE_LINK_OUTBOUND_BYTES

Change log of NVSDM library
 This chapter list changes in API and bug fixes that were introduced to the library

  Changes between NVSDM v1.2.0 and v1.3.0
 - Added new ConnectX counter ID NVSDM_CONNECTX_TELEM_CTR_PCIE_LINK_INBOUND_BYTES
 - Added new ConnectX counter ID NVSDM_CONNECTX_TELEM_CTR_PCIE_LINK_OUTBOUND_BYTES
 - Updated doxygen documentation to fix warnings and add better grouping support.

  Changes between NVSDM v1.1.0 and v1.2.0
 - Added a new API to retrieve "local" port number: nvsdmPortGetLocalNum
 - Modified nvsdmDeviceGetFirmwareVersion to also retrieve firmware versions for ConnectX HCA in addition to switches
 - Added support for 4 "extended" (i.e. 64b) PMA counters:
		- NVSDM_PORT_TELEM_CTR_EXT_XMIT_DATA
		- NVSDM_PORT_TELEM_CTR_EXT_RCV_DATA
		- NVSDM_PORT_TELEM_CTR_EXT_XMIT_PKTS
		- NVSDM_PORT_TELEM_CTR_EXT_RCV_PKTS

  Changes between NVSDM v1.0 and v1.1.0
 - Added nvsdmSetLogFile to specify a log file.
 - Added nvsdmDeviceGetFirmwareVersion to retrieve the firmware version for a given switch.
 - Added nvsdmDeviceGetTelemetryValues to retrieve telemetry from a device.
 - Added a new telemetry type: NVSDM_TELEM_TYPE_CONNECTX for ConnectX device telemetry.
