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")

Signed-off-by: Desnes A. Nunes do Rosario <redacted>
Applied.

Please do not put empty lines between Fixes: and Signed-off-by: and other
tags, all tags are equal and are placed together in an uninterrupted
sequences of consequetive lines.

Thank you.
