Please limit the use of iecm_status to the absolute necessary minimum.

If FW reports those back, they should be converted to normal Linux
errors in the handler of FW communication and not leak all over the
driver like that.

Having had to modify i40e recently - I find it very frustrating to not 
be able to propagate normal errors throughout the driver. The driver-
-specific codes are a real PITA for people doing re-factoring work.
