+int ixgbe_ndo_set_vf_mc_promisc(struct net_device *netdev, int vf, bool setting)
+{
+	struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter = netdev_priv(netdev);
+	struct ixgbe_hw *hw = &adapter->hw;
+	u32 vmolr;

vmolr is unused variable in this function.

+	if (vf >= adapter->num_vfs)
+		return -EINVAL;
+
+	/* nothing to do */
+	if (adapter->vfinfo[vf].mc_promisc_allowed == setting)
+		return 0;
+
+	adapter->vfinfo[vf].mc_promisc_allowed = setting;
+
+	/* if VF requests multicast promiscuous */
+	if (adapter->vfinfo[vf].mc_promisc) {
+		if (setting)
+			ixgbe_enable_vf_mc_promisc(adapter, vf);
+		else
+			ixgbe_disable_vf_mc_promisc(adapter, vf);
