niu: Fix probing regression for maramba on-board chips.
Changeset 7f7c4072ea552f97a0898331322f71986a97299c ("niu: Determine the # of ports from the card's VPD data") caused maramba on-board NIU ports to stop probing properly. The old code had a fallback that would use a num_ports value of 4 if all the probing methods failed, but that was removed. This restores the fallback of 4 ports, to get things working again. Bump driver version and release date. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
