+ * Wipes the flash config of UBX modules.

+ * PX4 does override all configuration parameters it needs in RAM, which takes precedence over the values in FLASH.
+ * However, configuration parameters that are not overriden by PX4 can still cause unexpected problems during flight.
+ * To avoid these kind of problems a clean config can be reached by wiping the FLASH on boot.
