When running tx switched traffic between VNICs created via a bridge(to which VFs are added), adapter drops the unicast packets in tx flow due to VNIC's ucast mac being unknown to it. But VF interfaces being in promiscuous mode should have caused adapter to accept all the unknown ucast packets. Later, it was found that driver doesn't really configure tx promiscuous mode settings to accept all unknown unicast macs. This patch fixes tx promiscuous mode settings to accept all unknown/unmatched unicast macs and works out the scenario.

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.
