Change to support host<->firmware command return value.
Fix for vf mac addr state command.
1. Added support for firmware commands to return a value:
- previously, the returned code overlapped with host codes, thus
commands were only returning 0 (success) or -1 (interpreted as
timeout)
- per 'response_manager.h', the error codes are split into two fields
(major/minor) now, firmware commands are grouped into their own
'major' group, separate from the host's 'major' group, which allow f/w
commands to return any 16-bit value
2. The command to set vf mac addr was logging a success message even if
command failed. Now command uses a callback function to log the status
message.
3. The command to set vf mac addr was not logging a message when set via
the host 'ip' command. Now, the callback function will log an
appropriate message.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
