Subject: [net-next 12/14] i40e: Fix firmware API version errors

From: Catherine Sullivan <catherine.sullivan@...el.com>

Reword the error messages. Also add a major version check because
We only want to warn on nvm_minor > expected_minor if
nvm_major == expected_major. Lastly, change an if to an else if
because the two statements will never evaluate to true at the same time.
