Jacob Keller 3d72aebfc6 i40e: Fix for NUP NVM image downgrade failure
Since commit 96a39aed25 ("i40e: Acquire NVM lock before
reads on all devices") we've used the NVM lock
to synchronize NVM reads even on devices which don't strictly
need the lock.

Doing so can cause a regression on older firmware prior to 1.5,
especially when downgrading the firmware.

Fix this by only grabbing the lock if we're running on an X722
device (which requires the lock as it uses the AdminQ to read
the NVM), or if we're currently running 1.5 or newer firmware.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
