Well, it's gona be a super correct response (for any Posix compliant OS 
like Linux and FreeBSD) since (in Linux) this error code is forwarded 
directly to ethtool application and it prints the corresponding error 
message.
Pls., note that there are other functions in vf.c that already return 
other POSIX codes (e.g. -ENOMEM in ixgbevf_set_uc_addr_vf()).

I remember Dave Miller was really angry in the past when he smelled that 
some Linux code is being shared with other not-so-open-source OSes... ;)
