[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/8] net/qede: fix to disable per-VF Tx switching feature

[Rasesh Mody]

From: Harish Patil <harish.patil at cavium.com>

Provide a knob to control per-VF Tx switching feature by adding a config
option, CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_VF_TX_SWITCH. By default, it will be kept
in disabled state for better performance with small sized frames.

Fixes: 2ea6f76aff40 ("qede: add core driver")
Cc: stable at dpdk.org
