> This patch fixes an issue where adminq init failures always provided a
> message that NVM was newer than expected.  This is not always the case for
> init_adminq failures. Without this patch, if adminq init fails for any reason,
> newer nvm message would be given.  This problem is fixed by adding  a
> check for that specific error condition and a different hopefully helpful
> message otherwise.
