bnxt_en: Reply to firmware's echo request async message.
This is a new async message that the firmware can send to check if it can communicate with the driver. This is an added error detection scheme that firmware can use if it suspects errors in the PCIe interface. When the driver receives this async message, it will reply back echoing some data in the async message. If the firmware is not getting the reply with the proper data after some retries, error recovery will kick in.
