Subject: [net-next 1/2] i40e: Warn admin to reload VF driver on port VLAN configuration 

From: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@...el.com>

The i40e Physical Function (PF) driver will allow the
 Virtual Function (VF) driver to configure its own VLAN filters if no port
 VLAN filter has been configured.  This leads to the possibility of the
 administrator setting a port VLAN filter for the VF after the VF has already
 configured its own VLAN filters.  This leads to a conflict that can only be
 resolved by reloading the VF driver.  When the conflicting administrative
 command is detected in setting the port VLAN then log a message indicating to
 the system administrator that he must now reload the VF driver for the new
 port VLAN settings to take effect.
