    i40e: tame the nvmupdate read and write complaints · 29a0645c
    Shannon Nelson authored
    The NVMUpdate tool doesn't necessarily know the ReadOnly map of the current
    NVM image, and must try reading and writing words that may be protected.
    This generates an error out of the Firmware request that the driver logs.
    Unfortunately, this ends up spitting out hundreds of bogus read and write
    error message that looks rather messy.
    
    This patch checks the error type and under normal conditions will not print
    the typical read and write errors during NVMUpdate.  This can be overridden
    by enabling the NVM update debugging.  This results in a much less messy log
    file, and likely many fewer customer support questions.
