Subject: [PATCH 0/2] i40e/i40evf: fix override of administratively set MAC address in trusted mode

In trusted mode VFs should be able to override the administratively set MAC
address. This is currently not possible as i40evf returns -EPERM if an
administratively set MAC is present, for MAC change requests.

First patch renames vf_offload_flags to vf_cap_flags to make it more generic.
Second patch then adds a flag to vf_cap_flags to give the VF information on
whether it runs in trusted mode and makes use of the flag in i40evf.

Patches are against jkirshers dev-queue branch.

Stefan Assmann (2):
  i40e/i40evf: rename vf_offload_flags to vf_cap_flags in struct
    virtchnl_vf_resource
  i40e/i40evf: add virtchnl flag to indicate trusted VF
