> This patch introduces DDP (Dynamic Device Personalization) which allows
> loading profiles that change the way internal parser interprets processed
> frames. To load DDP profiles it utilizes ethtool flash feature. The files with
> recipes must be located in /var/lib/firmware directory. Afterwards the recipe
> can be loaded by invoking:
> 
>     ethtool -f <if_name> <file_name> 100
>     ethtool -f <if_name> - 100
> 
> See further usage details of this feature in the i40e documentation, or visit
> https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/dynamic-device-personalization-
> for-intel-ethernet-700-series
> 
> The driver shall verify DDP profile can be loaded in accordance with the rules:
> * Package with Group ID 0 are exclusive and can only be loaded the first.
> * Packages with Group ID 0x01-0xFE can only be loaded simultaneously
>    with the packages from the same group.
> * Packages with Group ID 0xFF are compatible with all other packages.
