** Description changed:

  [IMPACT]
- The latest Intel based LOMs do not work fully on Focal.
+ The Intel x710-TM4 is one of the latest 10GbE controllers from intel using 
the i40e driver. This particular 4 port comes in a 2x2 arrangement: 2x SFP+ and 
2x RJ-45. This card is enabled in 5.4 via the inbox version of the i40e driver, 
and hwinfo does show both sides of the card but the kernel only sees the two 
SFP+ ports and cannot address or use the two copper ports.
  
  These devices have up to 4 ports, but only two seem to work and this has
  been seen on at least two different systems using LOMs based on this.
  
- We've discovered via testing that while the i40e driver in 5.4 fails,
- the version in 5.8 works, so that's the point to start patching.
+ This is currently blocking certification for one of our hardware
+ partners.
+ 
  
  [FIX]
  This list of Patches enables the latest X710 controller fully:
  
  * 3df5b9a6a9ec i40e: enable X710 support
  * d80a476f4a12 i40e: Fix LED blinking flow for X710T*L devices
  
  These are all clean cherry picks from 5.5 into 5.4
  
  My tree with these can be found here:
  
https://code.launchpad.net/~bladernr/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/focal/+ref/1893956-update-i40e-intel-lom
  
  [TESTCASE]
  
  i40e should load successfully, all ports on Carlsville x710 LOM should
  be visible and configurable.
  
  Test kernels have been verified by the vendor reporting the issue that
  all network ports on the LOM are accessible and pass traffic at expected
  speeds.
  
  [REGRESSION RISK]
  Should be pretty low. This is a small patch set to a single driver that only 
enables a newer chipset.
