[net-next PATCH v6 1/3] net: net_device_ops: Introduce ndo_get_vf_count

From: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
Date: 2017-01-05 19:09:30
Subsystem: networking drivers, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The idea is to allow drivers to implement this callback in order to
provide a custom way to return the number of virtual functions present
on the device.
