[RFC PATCH] sfc: log active datapath firmware variant on ef10/x4

From: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@atomlin.com>

Subsystem: networking drivers, sfc network driver, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Edward Cree, Linus Torvalds

EF10 and X4 architecture controllers support multiple datapath microcode
variants (e.g., low-latency, full-feature, packed-stream, and dpdk)
within the same firmware bundle.

During adapter probe in efx_ef10_init_datapath_caps(), the running RX
and TX DPCPU firmware IDs are queried via MC_CMD_GET_CAPABILITIES.
Log the active datapath variant name and numerical ID at probe time
using pci_info() so that the selected variant is immediately visible
in dmesg for verification and diagnostics.
