Subject: [net-next 09/17] i40e: Update error messaging

From: Carolyn Wyborny <carolyn.wyborny@...el.com>

This patch fixes an issue where adminq init failures always provided
a message that NVM was newer than expected.  This is not always the
case for init_adminq failures. Without this patch, if adminq init
fails for any reason, newer NVM message would be given.  This
problem is fixed by adding  a check for that specific error
condition and a different hopefully helpful message otherwise.
