PCI: output FW warning in pci_read/write_vpd
pci_read/write_vpd() can fail due to a timeout. Usually the command times out because of firmware issues (incorrect vpd length, etc.) on the PCI card. Currently, the timeout occurs silently. Output a message to the user indicating that they should check with their vendor for new firmware.
