====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Fixes 2018-12-12

This series contains fixes to i40e and ixgbe.

Stefan Assmann fixes an issue created by a previous fix, where
ether_addr_copy() was moved to avoid a race but did not take into
account that it alters the MAC address being handed to
i40e_del_mac_filter().

Michał Mirosław provides 2 fixes for i40e, first resolves issues in the
hardware VLAN offload where VLAN.TCI equal to 0 was being dropped and a
race between disabling VLAN receive feature in hardware and processing
the receive queue, where packets could have their VLAN information
dropped.

Ross Lagerwall fixes a racy condition during a ixgbe VF reset, where
writing the register to issue a reset and sending the reset message via
the mailbox API could result of the mailbox memory getting cleared
during the reset before the message gets successfully sent which results
in a VF driver malfunction.
