+Firmware 1.8.0.0 and later versions support reporting link changes to the PF.
+Therefore, to use the LSC for the PF driver, ensure that the firmware version

+If the VF driver needs to support LSC, special patch must be added:

+Note: The patch has been uploaded to 5.13 of the Linux kernel mainline.

@Thomas I'm not 100% sure about such links in the
documentation. Please, double-check.

Not sure to understand what you are not 100% sure.
Please could you elaborate?

I think you replied my question. My goal was just
to draw your attention to it. Sometimes it is
undesirable to have links to the external resources
which could disappear and it would make the
documentation broken. I hope it is not the case.

In this case, there is no better source than kernel.org :)
