[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 01/12] net/ice/base: whitelist register for NVM access

Allow tools to access register offset 0xB8188 (GLGEN_RSTAT) for
NVMUpdate operations.  This is a read-only register, so risk of other
issues stemming from this change is low. Even so, update the write
command to prevent and reject any commands which attempt to write to
this register, just like we do for GL_HICR_EN.
