Just before I send another rev, you mean something like this? 
https://github.com/alessandrod/linux/commit/a6fa91d5b5d1cc283a2f1faa378085c44bda8b4a

My rationale for i40e_inc_ntp_ntc was that _that_ is where the bug lies:
letting ntp and ntc get out of sync. By introducing a function that
forces you to _have_ to think about ntc and explicitly pass NULL if you
don't want to sync it, bugs like this become less easy to introduce.

That said I don't mind either way! Let me know if you want me to send v4
with the i40e_clean_programming_status() change.

Ciao,
