Re: [dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to LTS release 17.11.6

["Wang, Haiyue" <haiyue.wang@intel.com>]

Hi Yongseok,

When I tried to backport my patch, I found that :
cc0ed2f84  Haiyue Wang      net/i40e: perform basic validation on VF messages
1). The struct i40e_pf_vf has no ' struct virtchnl_version_info version; ', which is needed in my patch;
2). 17.11  has no function for VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_RSS_LUT & VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_RSS_KEY calling, like mainstream.

So this patch is worthless to backport it.

BR,
Haiyue
