Subject: [net-next 04/10] i40e: broadcast filters can trigger overflow promiscuous

From: Alan Brady <alan.brady@...el.com>

When adding a bunch of VLANs to all the ports on a device, it's possible
to run out of space for broadcast filters.  The driver should trigger
overflow promiscuous in this circumstance to prevent traffic from being
unexpectedly dropped.
