    i40e: refactor Rx filter handling · c3c7ea27
    Mitch Williams authored
    Properly track filter adds and deletes so the driver doesn't lose filters
    during resets and up/down cycles. Add a tracking mechanism so that the
    driver knows when to enter and leave promiscuous mode.
    
    Implement a simple state machine so the driver can track the status of
    each filter throughout its lifecycle. Properly manage the overflow promiscuous
    state for the each VSI, and provide a way for the driver to detect when to exit
    overflow promiscuous mode.
    
    Remove all possible default MAC filters that the firmware may have set up so
    that the driver can manage these correctly, particularly when VLANs come into
    play. Remove the LAA flag for filters; instead just send whatever we get through
    set_mac to the firmware as the LAA for wakeup purposes.
    
    Finally, add the state of each filter to debugfs output so we can see what's
    going on inside the driver's pointy little head.
