[PATCH iwl-net] ice: allow reading the last byte of the NVM and Shadow RAM regions

[PATCH iwl-net] ice: allow reading the last byte of the NVM and Shadow RAM regions

[Petr Oros]

ice_devlink_nvm_read() rejects a read whose end lands exactly on the
region size, so feeding back the size devlink itself reports fails:

  devlink region show pci/0000:04:00.0/nvm-flash
  pci/0000:04:00.0/nvm-flash: size 10485760 snapshot [] max 1

  devlink region read pci/0000:04:00.0/nvm-flash address 0 length 10485760
  Error: ice: Cannot read beyond the region size.

shadow-ram behaves the same. The regions are created with those sizes, so
a read ending on the size is the whole region and has to be allowed.
ice_read_flat_nvm() uses > for its own Shadow RAM check, and so does
ixgbe, which grew its region support from this code.

Fixes: 3af4b40b0f2f ("ice: implement direct read for NVM and Shadow RAM regions")
