Hi Canonical

This issue with the bnx2x driver exists in the all 4.4. kernels
including the current stable (4.4.36).  If 16.04 will continue to
support a 4.4. kernel we need the following patch included in a kernel
build.  I am working on ppc64le however others have reported the issue
on x86-64.

(The full patch is attached to this bugzilla)

Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: allow adding VLANs while interface is down

Here are the steps to verify the fix:

# brctl addbr boom
# brctl stp boom off
# brctl addif boom <interface>
# brctl delif boom  <interface>

<Interface> is any network interface using the bnx2x network driver.

The Oops happens after brctl delif is run unless patch is included.

Note:  the problem can be avoided if <interface> is "up" before brctl
addif is run.  This worked when I ran the commands by hand as above.   I
attempted to modify the /etc/network/interfaces to change the state of
the interface before creating the bridge but was unsuccessful.  Maybe
someone else will have better luck.
