[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 13/14] net/i40e/base: fix potentially uninitialized variables in NVM code

The status of i40e_read_nvm_word is not checked, so variables set
from this function could be used uninitialized. In this case, preserve
the existing flow that does not block initialization by initializing
these values from the start.

The variable checksum from i40e_calc_nvm_checksum is used before return
value is checked. Fix this logic.

Fixes: 8d6c51fcd24b ("i40e/base: get OEM version")
Fixes: 2db70574247b ("net/i40e/base: limit PF/VF specific code to that driver only")
Fixes: 8db9e2a1b232 ("i40e: base driver")
Fixes: 3ed6c3246f43 ("i40e/base: handle AQ timeout when releasing NVM")
