Hello Tyrel,
I concur with your observations, but since this patch has already been
merged, I'll address them in another patch.
Thank you for your review,

Older versions of VIOS servers do not send the firmware level in the VPD
buffer for the ibmvnic driver. Thus, not only the current message is mis-
leading but the firmware version in the ethtool will be NULL. Therefore,
this patch fixes the firmware string and its warning.

driver")

Is "N/A" the right thing to report? Would something like "Unknown" or
"Unreported" be better?

The sentence structure here seems awkward. I would probably just get rid of
this error and this one later in the function.
dev_err(dev, "Failed to isolate FW level string\n");
Instead just check and report if adapter->fw_version == NULL in the complete:
label section.
