🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Complete the BF4 documentation contract.

The example correctly switches BF4 to bluefield_software, but the surrounding documentation remains misleading:

  • The earlier deployment description still says each deployment has its own BFB, although BF4 uses BlueFieldSoftware.
  • The field-reference table omits bluefield_software.os_iso and bluefield_software.pldm_fw_bundle, so operators cannot discover or validate the new required fields there.
  • Document that the current configuration requires exactly one PSID-to-PLDM bundle entry.

Please update those references in this change. As per path instructions, documentation must remain technically correct and consistent with current deployment behavior.
