[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/5] net/bnxt: fix to avoid unnecessary memory allocation

[Kalesh A P <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@broadcom.com>]

From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@broadcom.com>

VFs are not privileged to issue HWRM_PORT_LED_QCFG/CFG.
There is no need to allocate "bp->leds" memory.

Fixes: 205b74295282 ("net/bnxt: fix allocation of LED config info")
