[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/3] net/bnxt: fix to ignore resource qcaps error with older FW

[Ajit Khaparde <ajit.khaparde@broadcom.com>]

On some old versions of FW, bnxt_hwrm_func_resc_qcaps can return an
error. This is because the command was not implemented completely
in FW till the subsequent version. Ignore the error and continue with
the driver initialization.
