Nitpicking ... at some point in time i40e_status should be removed plus
I40E_ERR_PARAM, I40E_SUCCESS, I40E_ERR_NO_MEMORY and the like, as we have
int and -EINVAL, 0, -ENOMEM for that. ;-)

+i40e_status i40e_put_mac_in_vlan(struct i40e_vsi *vsi, u8 *macaddr,

+
+	list_for_each_entry(f, &vsi->mac_filter_list, list) {
[...]
+			if (!add_f) {
+				dev_info(&vsi->back->pdev->dev, "Could not add filter %d for %pM\n",
+					 f->vlan, f->macaddr);
+				return -ENOMEM;
+			}
+		}
+	}
+	return I40E_SUCCESS;
+}

Their usage seems also to be mixed anyway: -ENOMEM vs. I40E_SUCCESS.

+{
+	struct i40e_mac_filter *f;
+
+	if (!vsi || !macaddr)
+		return NULL;
[...]

Probably the code could also be scanned to remove such checks as well ...
