To communicate to PF each of ThunderX NIC VF uses mailbox which is
pair of 64 bit registers available to both VFn and PF.

May I ask for some clarification.. When we're speaking of 'posting patches

does it mean to send them in next few hours ?
Or would it be more acceptable to post one version per day

By default CN88XX BGX accepts all incoming multicast and broadcast

an ability to change such behaviour.

The kernel calls ndo_set_rx_mode() callback from atomic context which
causes messaging timeouts between VF and PF (as they’re implemented
