Currently driver registers to physical link notifications (of the device) from Management firmware (MFW). Driver doesn't get notified if there's a change in the virtual link e.g., link-flap on the peer PF interface. Virtual link indication from MFW reflects the per PF link status instead of the physical link. The patch adds driver support for, - Advertising the virtual link support to MFW. - Handling the virtual link notification from MFW. Please consider applying it to 'net-next'.

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.
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.
