Prepare for choosing data path based on the firmware version field. Exploit one bit from the reserved byte in the firmware version field as the data path type. We need the firmware version right after vNIC is allocated, so it has to be read inside nfp_net_alloc(), callers don't have to set it afterwards. Following patches will bring the implementation of the second data path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
