[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/2] enable virtual PMD promiscuous and multicast

[Ciara Power]

When virtual PMDs are used to run sample applications, the application
fails due to the enable promiscuous function being called. The virtual
PMDs do not have dev_ops for enabling promiscuous mode, and return
-ENOTSUP as a result. 

Promiscuous and multicast modes are now initialised as enabled for the
virtual PMDs included in this patchset. When the enable promiscuous
function is called, a check now exists to allow the function return
successfully if the state is already enabled for the device. This allows
virtual PMDs run existing sample applications without failing.

---
v2:
* Removed dummy dev_ops functions.
* Added promiscuous state check in ethdev API functions.
* Initialised promiscuous and multicast states to enabled.

Ciara Power (2):
  ethdev: add check for device promiscuous state
  drivers/net: set enabled promiscuous and multicast
