i40e: Refactor and rename i40e_read_pba_string()
Function i40e_read_pba_string() is currently unused but will be used by subsequent patch to provide board ID via devlink device info. The function reads PBA block from NVM so it cannot be called during adapter reset and as we would like to provide PBA ID via devlink info it is better to read the PBA ID during i40e_probe() and cache it in i40e_hw structure to avoid a waiting for potential adapter reset in devlink info callback. So... - Remove pba_num and pba_num_size arguments from the function, allocate resource managed buffer to store PBA ID string and save resulting pointer to i40e_hw->pba_id field - Make the function void as the PBA ID can be missing and in this case (or in case of NVM reading failure) the i40e_hw->pba_id will be NULL - Rename the function to i40e_get_pba_string() to align with other functions like i40e_get_oem_version() i40e_get_port_mac_addr()... - Call this function on init during i40e_probe() Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
