> There's an issue reported. In the scenario DPDK PF + DPDK VF, if the VF port
> is closed, PF port cannot receive packets.
> I found at that time the promicuous mode is disabled on the PF port. But it
> should be enabled.
> When VF port is closed, it will send a message to its PF port to reset it. During
> this, PF port will also reset its own promicuous mode. Which promiscuous
> mode should be set depends on the parameter stored in the device data. In
> the function set_rx_mode, the pointer of device data points to the wrong
> address. So, the promiscuous mode is wrong.
