This patch series is intended to relax this - the recently submitted firmware is intended to be forward/backward compatible in its fastpath [slowpath is configured by PF on behalf of VF], and so VFs would only be required of having the same major faspath HSI in order to work. Most of the other patches in this series extend current forward compatibilty of driver to reduce chance of breaking PF/VF compatibility in the future. A few are unrelated IOV changes. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 919f274fd62fdc99799c8fa4f8231b4fd3714532
