sfc_ef100: fail the probe if NIC uses unsol_ev credits
In the future, EF100 is planned to have a credit-based scheme for handling unsolicited events, which drivers will need to use in order to function correctly. However, current EF100 hardware does not yet generate unsolicited events and the credit scheme has not yet been implemented in firmware. To prevent compatibility problems later if the current driver is used with future firmware which does implement it, we check for the corresponding capability flag (which that future firmware will set), and if found, we refuse to probe.
