[Intel-wired-lan] [dev-queue PATCH v3 0/3] i40e: Add VF Port representor support for SR-IOV VFs

[Sridhar Samudrala]

Patch 1 in this patchset adds support to create VF port representor netdevs
associated with SR-IOV VFs that can be used to control/configure VFs from
PF name space.
Patch 2 enables VF statistics to be exposed via ethtool on VF representor
netdevs.
Patch 3 adds devlink interface to change the switch mode to control the
creation of VF representor netdevs.

v3:
Swapped TX and RX ethtool stat strings for VFPR netdevs to indicate that
they represent the switch port attached to the VF.

v2:
Made following changes based on Alex's feedback
- reorganized the patches to create VF Port representor netdevs
  by default.
- removed support for ntuple filters on VFPR's

  i40e: Introduce VF port representor/control netdevs.
  i40e: Enable VF specific ethtool statistics via VF Port representor
    netdevs.
  i40e: Introduce devlink interface.
