Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v1 0/4] ixgbe/ixgbevf: fix PF/VF communication issues

Within two-step API update let's provide 2 new MBX operations:
1) request PF's link state (speed & up/down) - as legacy approach became
   obsolete for new E610 adapter and link state data can't be correctly
   provided - increasing API to 1.6
2) ask PF about supported features - for some time there is quite a mess in
   negotiating API versions caused by too loose approach in adding new
   specific (not supported by all of the drivers capable of linking with
   ixgbevf) feature and corresponding API versions. Now list of supported
   features is provided by MBX operation - increasing API to 1.7

Jedrzej Jagielski (4):
  ixgbevf: fix getting link speed data for E610 devices
  ixgbe: handle IXGBE_VF_GET_PF_LINK_STATE mailbox operation
  ixgbevf: fix mailbox API compatibility by negotiating supported
    features
  ixgbe: handle IXGBE_VF_FEATURES_NEGOTIATE mbox cmd
