Subject: [NET-NEXT PATCH 12/14] e1000e: store EEPROM version number to prevent
	unnecessary NVM reads

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

Rather than reading the NVM to get the EEPROM version number everytime the
ethool get_drvinfo function is called, read it once during probe and save
it for future reference.
