please use tools/python/tf_sess_config.py to get the sess_config after that.
note the byte order of session config is in normal order.
bump the MICRO version for the config change.

I plan to submit a patch for ff_hex_to_data(), add one more parameter for data_size.

int ff_hex_to_data(uint8_t *data, const char *p);

to 

int ff_hex_to_data(uint8_t *data, int data_size, const char *p);

Or if the string size is large than alloc memory, it'll cause invalid memory access.
