> This patch prepares ground for the next VF MAC address change fix.
> It lets untrusted VF to delete any VF mac filter, but it still doesn't let
> untrusted VF to add mac filter not setup by PF.
> It removes information duplication in num_mac mac filters counter.
> And improves exact h/w mac filters usage checking in the
> i40e_check_vf_permission() function by counting mac2add_cnt.
> It also improves logging because now all mac addresses will be validated first
> and corresponding messages will be logged.
