HINIC has a mailbox for PF-VF communication and the VF driver could send port control command to PF driver via mailbox. The control command only can be set to register in PF, so add support in PF driver for VF PMD driver control command when VF PMD driver work with linux PF driver. Then, no need to add handlers to nic_vf_cmd_msg_handler[], because the host driver just forwards it to the firmware. Actually the firmware works on a coprocessor MGMT_CPU(inside the NIC) which will recv and deal with these commands. Signed-off-by: Cai Huoqing <cai.huoqing@linux.dev> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
