i40e: ShadowRAM checksum calculation change
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Due to changes in FW the SW is required to perform double SR dump in
some cases.

Implementation adds two new steps to update nvm checksum function:
* recalculate checksum and check if checksum in NVM is correct
* if checksum in NVM is not correct then update it again
