This patch series contains two standalone bug fixes for the Octeontx2
administrative function (AF) driver targeting the net branch.
The first patch addresses a spurious firmware loading warning by
switching to the non-warning variant of the firmware request API when
falling back to alternative loading methods.
The second 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.

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.

From: Harman Kalra <hkalra@marvell.com>
There are three ways in which a KPU profile can be loaded
(in high to low priority order):
1. profile image integrated in kernel image
2. firmware database method
3. default profile
In most cases the profile is loaded using the 2nd method, which
causes a spurious warning from the Linux firmware subsystem (method 1)
due to the absence of firmware in the kernel image.
Replace request_firmware_direct() with firmware_request_nowarn() to
suppress such warnings when no image is integrated into the kernel image.
