patch 'common/cnxk: fix MAC address change with active VF' has been queued to stable release 23.11.3

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/30/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=23.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=23.11-staging&id=1ba168d355ced3b1fb8513939d0dce8df4a5c8f1

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] common/cnxk: fix MAC address change with active VF
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 2d4505dc6d4b541710f1c178ee0b309fab4d2ee8 ]

If device is in reconfigure state then it throws error while
changing default MAC or adding new MAC in LMAC filter table
if there are active VFs on a PF.

Allowing MAC address set/add even active VFs are present on
PF.

Fixes: 313cc41830ec ("common/cnxk: support NIX MAC operations")
