This patch is a part of a patch-set that introduces support for VF-reps in the bnxt_en driver. The driver registers eswitch mode get/set methods with the devlink interface that allow a user to enable SRIOV switchdev mode. When enabled, the driver registers a VF-rep netdev object for each VF with the stack. This can essentially bring the VFs unders the management perview of the hypervisor and applications such as OVS. The next patch in the series, adds the RX/TX routines and a slim netdev implementation for the VF-reps.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
