Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/4] bnxt_en: Change FW message timeout warning

The firmware advertises a "hwrm_cmd_max_timeout" value to the driver
for NVRAM and coredump related functions that can take tens of seconds
to complete.  The driver polls for the operation to complete under
mutex and may trigger hung task watchdog warning if the wait is too long.
To warn the user about this, the driver currently prints a warning if
this advertised value exceeds 40 seconds:

Device requests max timeout of %d seconds, may trigger hung task watchdog

The original hope was that newer FW would be able to reduce this timeout
below 40 seconds.  But 60 seconds is the timeout on most production FW
and cannot be reduced further.  Change the driver's warning threshold to
60 seconds to avoid triggering this warning on all production devices.
