The i40e driver complains about unprivileged VFs trying to configure promiscuous mode each time a VF reset occurs. This isn't the fault of the poor VF driver - the PF driver itself is making the request. To fix this, skip the privilege check if the request is to disable all promiscuous activity. This gets rid of the bogus message, but doesn't affect privilege checks, since we really only care if the unprivileged VF is trying to enable promiscuous mode.

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.
