[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/8] net/qede/base: fix multiple acquisition requests by VF

[Rasesh Mody]

There are certain conditions under which VF would infinitely send
ACQUIRE messages, as it will fail to understand that PF has rejected
the ACQUIRE request. Fix to reject multiple acquisition requests by VF.

Fixes: 22d07d939c3c ("net/qede/base: update")
