VF Port Representator netdevs are created for each VF if the switch mode
is set to 'switchdev'. These netdevs can be used to control and configure
VFs from PFs namespace. They enable exposing VF statistics, configure and
monitor link state, mtu, filters, fdb/vlan entries etc. of VFs.
Broadcast filters are not enabled in switchdev mode.

Sample script to create VF port representors
# rmmod i40e; modprobe i40e
# devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:05:00.0 mode switchdev
# echo 2 > /sys/class/net/enp5s0f0/device/sriov_numvfs

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.
