When a VF (Virtual Function) driver is removed, the PF (Physical
Function) driver continues to retain stale VF-specific information.
This can lead to inconsistencies or unexpected behavior when the VF is
re-initialized or reassigned.

This patch ensures that the PF driver clears the corresponding VF info
when the VF driver is removed, maintaining a clean state and
preventing potential issues.

Hi,

I feel that I must be missing something terribly obvious.
But this patch seems to be a subset of the one at the link below.

You're absolutely right — apologies for the confusion. I mistakenly sent the wrong patch and so marked its state as 'Not Applicable'.
 Please disregard this patch.

Thanks, understood.
