From a107311d7fdf6b826f3737c4a90fd0e0046e7a3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Desnes Augusto Nunes do Rosario Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 16:04:30 -0200 Subject: ibmvnic: fix firmware version when no firmware level has been provided by the VIOS server 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.
