The virtual\nPMDs do not have dev_ops for enabling promiscuous mode, and return\n-ENOTSUP as a result. \n\nPromiscuous and multicast modes are now initialised as enabled for the\nvirtual PMDs included in this patchset. When the enable promiscuous\nfunction is called, a check now exists to allow the function return\nsuccessfully if the state is already enabled for the device. This allows\nvirtual PMDs run existing sample applications without failing.\n\n---\nv2:\n* Removed dummy dev_ops functions.\n* Added promiscuous state check in ethdev API functions.\n* Initialised promiscuous and multicast states to enabled.\n\nCiara Power (2):\n  ethdev: add check for device promiscuous state\n  drivers/net: set enabled promiscuous and multicast\n\n drivers/net/kni/rte_eth_kni.c   |  2 ++\n drivers/net/null/rte_eth_null.c |  2 ++\n drivers/net/pcap/rte_eth_pcap.c |  2 ++\n drivers/net/ring/rte_eth_ring.c |  2 ++\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c  | 22 ++++++++++++----------\n 5 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)"
