The AF driver assigns reserved MCAM entries (for unicast, broadcast,
etc.) based on the NIXLF number. When a NIXLF is detached, these entries
are disabled.
For example,
PF NIXLF
--------------------
PF0 0
SDP-VF0 1
If the user unbinds both PF0 and SDP-VF0 interfaces and then binds them in
reverse order
PF NIXLF
---------------------
SDP-VF0 0
PF0 1
In this scenario, the PF0 unicast entry is getting corrupted because
the MCAM entry contains stale data (SDP-VF0 ucast data)
This patch resolves the issue by clearing the unicast MCAM entry during
NIXLF detach

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 reStructuredText 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.
