[PATCH] i40e: limit client interface to X722 hardware

2017-04-04 Thread Stefan Assmann
The client interface is meant for X722 iWARP support. Modprobing i40iw on systems with X710/XL710 NICs currently may crash the system. Adding a check which limits client interface access to the appropriate hardware. Signed-off-by: Stefan Assmann --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_client.c
