Command is limited to set VF parameters only. It cannot set the default MAC address for the PCI PF. 2. It can be set only on system where PCI SR-IOV is supported. In smartnic based system, eswitch of a NIC resides on a different embedded cpu which has the VF and PF representors for the SR-IOV support on a host system in which this smartnic is plugged-in. 3. It cannot setup the function attributes of sub-function described in detail in comprehensive RFC [1] and [2]. This series covers the first small part to let user query and set MAC address (hardware address) of a PCI PF/VF which is represented by devlink port.
