ionic: monitor fw status generation
The top 4 bits of the fw_status in dev_info_regs is reserved
for the status generation. This generation number is an
arbitrary value defined when firmware starts up. If the FW
is killed/crashed/stopped and then restarted, it will create
a different generation number. With this mechanism, the host
driver can detect that the FW has crashed and restarted, and
the driver can then take steps to re-initialize its connection.
