Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/12] nfp: improve app not found message

When driver app matching loaded FW is not found users are faced with:

   nfp: failed to find app with ID 0x%02x

This message does not properly explain that matching driver code is
either not built into the driver or the driver is too old.
