Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] ibmvnic: Fix netdev features settings on reset

In its current state, a driver reset clobbers any feature settings
a user may have toggled and will disable GRO as it is not explicitly
enabled in the driver. This patch set enables GRO and tries to retain
user settings after a reset. If the underlying carrier changes, however,
the driver will disable features unsupported by the new carrier.
