[PATCH v3 5/6] common/sfc_efx/base: deny periodic MAC stats delivery to VFs

[Ivan Malov <ivan.malov@arknetworks.am>]

Currently, requesting periodic DMA results in an EACCES error being
returned, but the DPDK driver expects ENOTSUP to handle the
situation gracefully. Implement proper error indication.
