+	  This value defines the maximum length of the vendor-specific version information
+	  that the mesh stack can manage, describing the image. Please note that
+	  only 106 octets size allows the device to be compliant with
+	  the Bluetooth Mesh DFU specification. If smaller than 106 octets are set,
+	  then the device will fail with managing firmware images that have
