I'm afraid this won't work. Cisco HCAs are provided with a modified 
firmware, and the Board ID is not the standard Mellanox's one:

# flint -d /dev/mst/mt25204_pci_cr0 query
Image type:      Failsafe
FW Version:      1.2.917
I.S. Version:    1

VSD:             4��
PSID:

                port:   1
                        state:                  PORT_ACTIVE (4)
                        max_mtu:                2048 (4)
                        active_mtu:             2048 (4)
                        sm_lid:                 2
                        port_lid:               132
                        port_lmc:               0x00


Although I think it should be safe to flash a Cisco HCA with a Mellanox 
firmware (I doubt the chips are different), identifying the right image 
to apply is more challenging.
