Now, the example ethtool can only show the driver information. From customers' point of view, it should be better if we can have the same way that the Linux kernel ethtool does to show firmware version.
These five patches added a new function ``rte_eth_dev_fw_version_get()`` to fetch firmware version related information and implement the display in example ethtool.
