i40e/i40evf: Add nvmupdate support
This implements a state machine intended to support the userland tool for updating the device eeprom. The state machine implements one-shot reads, writes, multi-step write sessions, and checksum requests. If we're in the middle of a multi-step write session, no one should fire off other writes, however, one shot reads are valid. The userland tool is expected to keep track of its session status, arrange the placement and ordering of the writes, and deal with the checksum requirement. This patch also adds nvmupdate support to ethtool callbacks. The get_eeprom() and set_eeprom() services in ethtool are used here to facilitate the userland NVMUpdate tool. The 'magic' value in the get and set commands is used to pass additional control information for managing the read and write steps. The read operation works both as normally expected in the standard ethtool method, as well as with the extra NVM controls. The write operation works only for the expanded NVM functions - the normal ethtool method is not allowed because of the NVM semaphore management needed for multipart writes, as well as the checksum requirement.
