-i aboot_conf option in the BIOS commands would result in updating the configuration section in the BIOS layout. However, the configurations are programmed by BMC and they should remain persistent during BIOS updates. Removed the -i aboot_conf option from the commands to fix this issue.
Testing
Updated BIOS using fw_util and made sure the configurations remain unchanged
Read the BIOS using fw_util with two different sets of BIOS configurations and made sure the output of read operations are the same
