Aah you wish, but DSU apparently has quite some trouble correctly
supporting upgrades of Dell's own firmwares already, so...

Technically, you can. But it's obviously not a supported solution.

Other than that, Mellanox provides many management tools (esp. MFT:
https://www.mellanox.com/page/management_tools), that allow burning
firmware images onto HCAs and even automatically download new images
for your adapter. The tool is called mlxfwmanager. Of course, it won't
automatically find OEM "customized" firmwares, but you'll find the
Dell ones here:
