Currently in i40e_set_priv_flags we use new_flags to check for the I40E_FLAG_DISABLE_FW_LLDP flag. This is an issue for a few a reasons. DISABLE_FW_LLDP is persistent across reboots/driver reloads. This means we need some way to detect if FW LLDP is enabled on init. We do this by trying to init_dcb and if it fails with EPERM we know LLDP is disabled in FW. This could be a problem on older FW versions or NPAR enabled PFs because there are situations where the FW could disable LLDP, but they do _not_ support using this flag to change it. If we do end up in this situation, the flag will be set, then when the user tries to change any priv flags, the driver thinks the user is trying to disable FW LLDP on a FW that doesn't support it and essentially forbids any priv flag changes. The fix is simple, instead of checking if this flag is set, we should be checking if the user is trying to _change_ the flag on unsupported FW versions. This patch also adds a comment explaining that the cmpxchg is the point of no return. Once we put the new flags into pf->flags we can't back out.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
