Hi Jingjing,
this patch changes this return value in this case (I40E_VIRTCHNL_OP_RESET_VF).
Is this intentional - if so it probably needs to be documented in the commit
message. If not, the "err = -1" should be put at the start of the do { } while
loop for the GET_VF_RESOURCES command.
Perhaps to avoid future errors, each case in the switch should explicitly set
it's own default error value?
