This does not apply cleanly because it is based on an older version of
i40e_virtchnl_pf.c file.  It appears that i40e has been updated to use
"i40e_add_filter()" yet your patch still uses "i40e_add_mac_filter()".

We need to clarify what the "right way" is to add filters and use the
correct function.

Dropping this series and will await v3, please address the other feedback
from Or Gerlitz and Jiri Pirko as well in your updated series.
