From 6b7027689890c590373fc58f362fae43d0517e21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Edwin Peer Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2021 13:45:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] bnxt_en: allow VF config ops when PF is closed It is perfectly legal for the stack to query and configure VFs via PF NDOs while the NIC is administratively down. Remove the unnecessary check for the PF to be in open state. Signed-off-by: Edwin Peer Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S.
