    ice: create function to read a section of the NVM and Shadow RAM · e9450990
    Jacob Keller authored
    The NVM contents are read via firmware by using the ice_aq_read_nvm
    function. This function has a couple of limits:
    
    1) The AdminQ commands can only take buffers sized up to 4Kb. Thus, any
       larger read must be split into multiple reads.
    2) when reading from the Shadow RAM, reads must not cross sector
       boundaries. The sectors are also 4Kb in size.
    
    Implement the ice_read_flat_nvm function to read portions of the NVM by
    flat offset. That is, to read using offsets from the start of the NVM
    rather than from a specific module.
    
    This function will be able to read both from the NVM and from the Shadow
    RAM. For simplicity NVM reads will always be broken up to not cross 4Kb
    page boundaries, even though this is not required unless reading from
    the Shadow RAM.
    
    Use this new function as the implementation of ice_read_sr_word_aq.
    
    The ice_read_sr_buf_aq function is not modified here. This is because
    a following change will remove the only caller of that function in favor
    of directly using ice_read_flat_nvm. Thus, there is little benefit to
    changing it now only to remove it momentarily. At the same time, the
    ice_read_sr_aq function will also be removed.
