Description

In the provision cookbook we have a lot of code workflows like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/cookbooks/+/1170085.

The main issue is that we don't know if the BIOS/Redfish versions are unique across model versions or not. If so we could just have if blocks like "if the BIOS/Redfish version is higher than etc.." rather than having to consider model types as well.

We should also find representatives of custom firmware versions, like the ones with calvin as ADMIN password.

Based on our discussion with Supermicro on the call today, my understanding is that we will need to support model specific quirks.
