Subject: [PATCH v3] net: ethernet: emulex: benet: fix adapter->fw_on_flash truncation warning

The benet driver copies both fw_ver (32 bytes) and fw_on_flash (32 bytes)
into ethtool_drvinfo->fw_version (32 bytes), leading to a potential
string truncation warning when built with W=1.

Store fw_on_flash in ethtool_drvinfo->erom_version instead, which some
drivers use to report secondary firmware information.
