commit 741b7b743bbcb5a3848e4e55982064214f900d2f upstream.
The original purpose of the ICE_DCBNL_DEVRESET was to protect
the driver during DCBNL device resets. But, the flow for
DCBNL device resets now consists of only calls up the stack
such as dev_close() and dev_open() that will result in NDO calls
to the driver. These will be handled with state changes from the
stack. Also, there is a problem of the dev_close and dev_open
being blocked by checks for reset in progress also using the
ICE_DCBNL_DEVRESET bit.
Since the ICE_DCBNL_DEVRESET bit is not necessary for protecting
the driver from DCBNL device resets and it is actually blocking
changes coming from the DCBNL interface, remove the bit from the
PF state and don't block driver function based on DCBNL reset in
progress.

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.
