If this report is exported, and then components with downgrade action which in turn have critical update is also exported.
• When there are multiple network interfaces available in a single NIC card, there is only one entry for all the interfaces in the
Component Information list. After the rmware updates are applied, all the NIC cards are upgraded.

Information list. After the rmware updates are applied, all the NIC cards are upgraded.
