Subject: [net-next 05/12] i40e: ShadowRAM checksum calculation change

From: Maciej Paczkowski <maciej.paczkowski@...el.com>

Due to changes in FW the SW is required to perform double SR dump in
some cases.

Implementation adds two new steps to update nvm checksum function:
* recalculate checksum and check if checksum in NVM is correct
* if checksum in NVM is not correct then update it again
