+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: parsers: bcm63xx: simplify CFE detection
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Instead of trying to parse CFE version string, which is customized by some
+vendors, let's just check that "CFE1" was passed on argument 3.
