Subject: [PATCH net 4/4] e1000e: Do not take care about recovery NVM checksum

From: Sasha Neftin <sasha.neftin@...el.com>

On new platforms, the NVM is read-only. Attempting to update the NVM
is causing a lockup to occur. Do not attempt to write to the NVM
on platforms where it's not supported.
Emit an error message when the NVM checksum is invalid.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213667
Fixes: fb776f5d57ee ("e1000e: Add support for Tiger Lake")
