[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v2] i40e: Fix for displaying message regarding NVM version

[Mateusz Palczewski]

When loading the i40e driver, it prints a message like:
'The driver for the device detected a newer version of the NVM image v1.x than
expected v1.y. Please install the most recent version of the network driver.'
This is misleading as the driver is working as expected.

Fix that by removing the second part of message and changing it from
dev_info to dev_dgb.

Fixes: 4fb29bddb57f ("i40e: The driver now prints the API version in error message")

 v2: Fixed the fixes tag to be 12 digits long
