    qed: Relax VF firmware requirements · 1fe614d1

    Current driver require an exact match between VF and PF storm firmware;
    Any difference would fail the VF acquire message, causing the VF probe
    to be aborted.
    
    While there's still dependencies between the two, the recent FW submission
    has relaxed the match requirement - instead of an exact match, there's now
    a 'fastpath' HSI major/minor scheme, where VFs and PFs that match in their
    major number can co-exist even if their minor is different.
    
    In order to accomadate this change some changes in the vf-start init flow
    had to be made, as the VF start ramrod now has to be sent only after PF
    learns which fastpath HSI its VF is requiring.
