Hi all,
this series of patches contains an implementation of the first part
of IEEE 802.1Qbg, the exchange of EVB TLVs to negotiate VSI capabalities.
It supports setting the parameters of the TLV exchange from the command

The patches are based on lldpad 0.9.34. lldpad is a p
This patch adds for querying and setting parameters used in
the exchange of EVB TLV messages.
The parameters that can be set are:
- forwarding mode
- host protocol capabilities (RTE, ECP, VDP and VDPL)
- no. of supported VSIs
- retransmission timer exponent (RTE)

Please pull them for net-next. Another set of patches is under
