Hi Tom,

This patch looks appropriate for net-next, which is currently closed.

The changes look fine, but I'm curious to know if its intentionally that
the following was left alone in ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_ethtool.c:nfp_net_get_nspinfo()

	snprintf(version, ETHTOOL_FWVERS_LEN, "%hu.%hu"

If the above was not intentional then perhaps you could respin with that
updated and resubmit when net-next re-opens. Feel free to add:
