Ting Xu 03a05924da net/ice: support device-specific DDP package loading
This patch adds the feature that supports loading DDP package
according to the device serial number. Prior to loading the
default DDP package (ice.pkg), the driver will check for the
presence of a device-specific DDP package with the name containing
64-bit PCIe Device Serial Number (ice-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pkg)
during initialization. Users can use "lspci -vs" to get the device
serial number.
The pkg search path are /lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp/
and /lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/. If the package exists,
the driver will download it to the device instead of the default
one. The loaded package type (OS default and COMMS) will be
stored in ice_adapter->active_pkg_type. The package version is
stored in ice_hw->active_pkg_ver.
