> Implement the private flag disable-fw-lldp for ethtool to disable the
> processing of LLDP packets by the FW.
> This will stop the FW from consuming LLDPDU and cause them to be sent up
> the stack.
> 
> The FW is also being configured to apply a default DCB configuration on link
> up.
> 
> Toggling the value of this flag will also cause a PF reset.
> 
> Disabling FW DCB will also disable DCBX.
