There is an issue with some NVMs where an already existent LLDP filter is blocking the creation of a filter to allow LLDP packets to be redirected to the default VSI for the interface. This is blocking all LLDP functionality based in the kernel when the FW LLDP agent is disabled (e.g. software based DCBx). Implement the new AQ command to allow adding VSI destinations to existent filters on NVM versions that support the new command. The new lldp_fltr_ctrl AQ command supports Rx filters only, so the code flow for adding filters to disable Tx of control frames will remain intact.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
