    be2net: refactor code that checks flash file compatibility

    This patch re-factors the code that checks for flash file compatibility
with
    the chip type, for better readability, as follows:
        - be_get_ufi_type() returns the UFI type from the flash file
        - be_check_ufi_compatibility() checks if the UFI type is compatible
          with the adapter/chip that is being flashed

Title:
  Don’t allow Skyhawk P1 firmware to be downloaded to Skyhawk P2 cards

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Sureshkumar Reddy Reddygari (~suresh-reddy) writes:

  Skyhawk P1 firmware can be downloaded to Skyhawk P2 cards. Skyhawk-P1
  FW UFI is not compatible to flash on Skyhawk-P2 ASIC. These patches
  will avoid flashing P1 firmware on P2 card.

  We have a number of OEMs rolling on Skyhawk P2 ASIC support for their
  adapters over the next 6-12 months. We need to ensure this fix gets in
  in order to prevent Skyhawk B0 ASIC images being inadvertently
  downloaded to the P2 ASICs.

  If a B0 image is downloaded to a P2 ASIC, it will boot and run but the
  functionality will not operate correctly.

  All of the traditional Tier 1 Server vendors are rolling out the P2
  ASIC in the coming year and are in qual now. Please consider including
  this change as an exception into 14.04 Stable release update and
  14.04.3 once that git tree is available.
