This causes some irregularities and misc troubles. Move to use dedicated uplink rep, as we have for the VF vports. The uplink rep netdev does has sysfs link and supports the sriov vf mac ndo, these two are in use by libvirt and other orchestrators, It also has richer ethtool support to allow controlling the port link & mtu along with supporting dcb and plugging into the mlx5 lag logic. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
