Re: please help backporting some patches to stable release 20.11.7

[Benjamin Le Berre <benjamin.le_berre@6wind.com>]

Hi,

I don't think that 09b5b2880d ("net/bnxt: fix error code during MTU
change") is meant to be backported to 20.11 since it is a fix to
a42ab1eb33ff ("net/bnxt: disallow MTU change when device is started")
which seems to not have been backported, although I cannot find
confirmation that it should have been skipped for the 20.11.6 release.

Kind Regards,
Benjamin Le Berre.
