    iwlwifi: mvm: fix NVM check for 3168 devices

    We had a check on !NVM_EXT and then a check for NVM_SDP in the else
    block of this if.  The else block, obviously, could only be reached if
    using NVM_EXT, so it would never be NVM_SDP.

    Fix that by checking whether the nvm_type is IWL_NVM instead of
    checking for !IWL_NVM_EXT to solve this issue.

    iwlwifi: mvm: fix NVM check for 3168 devices

    We had a check on !NVM_EXT and then a check for NVM_SDP in the else
    block of this if.  The else block, obviously, could only be reached if
    using NVM_EXT, so it would never be NVM_SDP.

    Fix that by checking whether the nvm_type is IWL_NVM instead of
    checking for !IWL_NVM_EXT to solve this issue.
