Hi Dave, This patchset adds a support to override forced MAC (MAC set by PF for a VF) when trust mode is enabled using #ip link set dev <pf> vf <vf id> trust on
First patch adds a real change to use .ndo_set_vf_trust to override forced MAC and allow user to change VFs from VF interface itself. Second patch takes care of a corner case, where MAC change from VF won't take effect when VF interface is down, by introducing a new TLV (a way to send message from VF to PF) to give a hint to PF to update its bulletin board. Please apply this series to net-next.
