iwlwifi: be more verbose about needed firmware
If the supported firmware versions are not found, we currently only print "no suitable firmware found". This is not very informative for the user trying to find the correct version to use. Improve this by printing the exact firmware name(s) the driver supports and pointing to the git repository where they can be found. Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>
