The ice_reset_vf function takes a boolean parameter which indicates whether or not the reset is due to a VFLR event. This is somewhat confusing to read because readers must interpret what "true" and "false" mean when seeing a line of code like "ice_reset_vf(vf, false)". We will want to add another toggle to the ice_reset_vf in a following change. To avoid proliferating many arguments, convert this function to take flags instead. ICE_VF_RESET_VFLR will indicate if this is a VFLR reset. A value of 0 indicates no flags. One could argue that "ice_reset_vf(vf, 0)" is no more readable than "ice_reset_vf(vf, false)".. However, this type of flags interface is somewhat common and using 0 to mean "no flags" makes sense in this context. We could bother to add a define for "ICE_VF_RESET_PLAIN" or something similar, but this can be confusing since its not an actual bit flag. This paves the way to add another flag to the function in a following change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
