I'm likely not running the correct firmware...

Can you tell me, with the ethtool -i output, if I'm running the
appropriate firmware?

# ethtool -i enp129s0np1
driver: nfp
version: 4.18.0-2.el8.x86_64 SMP mod_unl
firmware-version: 0.0.3.5 0.21 nic-2.0.7 nic
expansion-rom-version: 
bus-info: 0000:81:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: no
supports-eeprom-access: no
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: no

If this is a firmware version case, then we should really improve the
errors we are giving the user, the -EINVAL can be anything.

 "libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument"
