Currently driver registers to physical link notifications (of the device)
from Management firmware (MFW). Driver doesn't get notified if there's a
change in the virtual link e.g., link-flap on the peer PF interface.
Virtual link indication from MFW reflects the per PF link status instead
of the physical link.
The patch adds driver support for,
- Advertising the virtual link support to MFW.
- Handling the virtual link notification from MFW.
Please consider applying it to 'net-next'.
