This series contains updates to igb, ixgbe, i40e and i40evf.

Mark fixes a possible attempt to dereference a NULL pointer in ixgbe_probe().
Also changes some uses of strncpy to strlcpy when clearing is not needed to
prevent information leakage.

Jacob fixes a bug in the misuse of the list_for_each macro to loop over
every entry in the bus_list. Instead of attempting to loop over the list
from a random entry point, go up to the bus and use the real list_head
entry point. This prevents the possible read or write of unallocated or
incorrectly addressed memory. Then provides a patch to prevent the
display of the minimum link qualification check if we might be in a
virtual machine. This check is incorrect and misleading in this case,
since we actually do not really know what the available bandwidth is.
To do so, we simply check whether each function on the bus matches our
device id.

Carolyn adds a check and prints the error cause register value when the
hardware detects a malformed packet to assist the user.

Toralf Förster fixes a format mismatch in i40e which was found using
cppcheck.

Shannon adds nvmupdate support by implementing a state machine intended
to support the userland tool for updating the device eeprom.

Jesse fixes the extension header checksum logic for IPv6 in i40e and
i40evf.

Mitch reduces a delay in the i40evf driver where we do not need to
delay an entire millisecond to get into our critical section.

Kamil fixes an issue where access to the NVM was being blocked until
a driver reset where a check for NVM related admin queue commands
would not recognize that such a command was received and would not clear
nvm_busy flag.

Catherine fixes a couple of firmware API version errors.

The following are changes since commit f6e675324481c56b358091ddb446b2c95a8e047b:
