bigip_configsync_action module is not working in Ansible 2.5

ISSUE TYPE

Since from 2.5 version, Ansible added provider to bigip_configsync_action, there is some confusion.

bigip_configsync_action module not doing the config-SYNC and keep showing Error as ["Unable to connect to BIGIP_F52.test.com on port 22. Is \"validate_certs\" preventing this?"]

BIGIP_F52.test.com is my F5 Box name against which am ruining my playbook.
