Allow to:

Only a single VF per port can transmit LLDP packets,
all trusted VFs can transmit LLDP packets.

For both functionalities to work, private flag
fw-lldp-agent must be off.

I am aware that implemented way of configuration (through sysfs) can be
potentially controversial and would like some feedback from outside.

Why is the device not in switchdev mode? You can put your lldp-agent
priv flag on repr netdevs.
