Mohammad Heib introduces a new devlink parameter, max_mac_per_vf, for
controlling the maximum number of MAC address filters allowed by a VF. This
allows administrators to control the VF behavior in a more nuanced manner.

Aleksandr and Przemek add support for Receive Side Scaling of GTP to iAVF
for VFs running on E800 series ice hardware. This improves performance and
scalability for virtualized network functions in 5G and LTE deployments.

Jacob revives one-year-old work from Jesse Brandeburg to implement the
standardized statistics interfaces from ethtool in the ice driver.

Kohei improves the behavior of the RSS indirection table for ixgbe,
ensuring it is preserved across device reset and when the device is
administratively closed and re-open.

Vitaly introduces a new private flag to control the K1 power state of ICH
network controllers supported by the e1000e driver. This flag has been
extensively discussed on the list and deemed the best available option to
provide a field workaround without impacting the many configurations that
have no issues with the K1 power state.
