Delete Device Platform Configuration Data

When Config is specified, the Current, Input Data Size, Output Data Size and Start Offset values in the Configuration header are set to zero, making those tables invalid. This action can be useful before moving modules from one system to another, as goal creation rules may restrict provisioning dimms with an existing configuration.
Warning: This command may result in data loss. Data should be backed up to other storage before executing this command.
