[ 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.
