Add extra handling on changing the "disable-fw-lldp" private
flag to properly initialize software based DCB feature.
Add default configuration of DCB functionality when Firmware
LLDP agent is turned off, in case of driver probe and device
reset on reconfiguration.
Update copyright dates as appropriate.
Software based DCB is a brand-new feature in i40e driver.
Before, DCB was implemented by Firmware LLDP agent only. The agent was
responsible for handling incoming DCB-related LLDP frames and
applying received DCB configuration to hardware.
Default configuration and new initialization flow for software based
DCB is required. If LLDP agent is turned off in BIOS, or after
setting private flag ("disable-fw-lldp on"). The driver initializes
DCB functionality with default values, one traffic class with 100%
bandwidth allocated.

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.
