    sfc: record the PF's vport ID in nic_data · 45b2449e
    Daniel Pieczko 提交于
    The default port ID of EVB_PORT_ID_ASSIGNED is a "magic" number
    for the MCFW to select the physical port of the PF.  If other
    vswitches and vports are created on top of the default firmware
    configuration, the ID of the newly created vport is then required
    when passed to MCDI commands.  Currently, this doesn't happen so
    the vport_id is never changed, but a subsequent patch will change
    this behaviour so that other vswitches and vports are created.
    
    The vport_id recorded in nic_data is only relevant for PFs.
    VFs will have their vports created by their parent PF, and in
    that case the parent PF will record the vport ID of each VF.
    For a VF, nic_data->vport_id is expected to remain at the default
    value.
