Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.15 127/189] ibmvnic: fix firmware version when no firmware level has been provided by the VIOS server
Date
From: Desnes Augusto Nunes do Rosario <desnesn@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit a107311d7fdf6b826f3737c4a90fd0e0046e7a3a ]

Older versions of VIOS servers do not send the firmware level in the VPD
buffer for the ibmvnic driver. Thus, not only the current message is mis-
leading but the firmware version in the ethtool will be NULL. Therefore,
this patch fixes the firmware string and its warning.

Fixes: 4e6759be28e4 ("ibmvnic: Feature implementation of VPD for the ibmvnic driver")
