[PATCH net v3 0/1] octeontx2-af: Bug fixes for VF RX mode

[nshettyj]

From: Kiran Kumar K <kirankumark@marvell.com>

Hello,

The patch resolves an issue where a VF changing its interface
state could inadvertently delete the RX promiscuous and all-multicast
MCAM rules belonging to the host PF.

Changes in v3:
- Drop patch "octeontx2-af: suppress kpu profile loading warning".
- Drop the change based on the Sashiko review comment that both APIs
  already use FW_OPT_NO_WARN, making the switch from
  request_firmware_direct() to firmware_request_nowarn() unnecessary.

Changes in v2:
- Rebased patch 2/2 to resolve a merge conflict on the net branch.
- Patch 1/2 remains unchanged.

[PATCH net v3 1/1] octeontx2-af: fix VF bringup affecting PF promiscuous state

[nshettyj]

From: Harman Kalra <hkalra@marvell.com>

Mbox handling of nix_set_rx_mode for a VF with promiscuous and
all_multi flags set to false causes deletion of the PF's promiscuous
and allmulti MCAM rules. This occurs because the APIs that
enable/disable these rules operate only on the PF, even when the
mbox request is made via a VF interface.

Guard both rvu_npc_enable_allmulti_entry() and
rvu_npc_enable_promisc_entry() disable paths with an is_vf() check so
that a VF bringing up or tearing down its interface cannot inadvertently
clear the PF's MCAM rules.
