bnxt_en: Set NPAR 1.2 support when registering with firmware

Browse source

NPAR (Network interface card partitioning)[1] 1.2 adds a transparent
VLAN tag for all packets between the NIC and the switch.  Because of
that, RX VLAN acceleration cannot be supported for any additional
host configured VLANs.  The driver has to acknowledge that it can
support no RX VLAN acceleration and set the NPAR 1.2 supported flag
when registering with the FW.  Otherwise, the FW call will fail and
the driver will abort on these NPAR 1.2 NICs with this error:

bnxt_en 0000:26:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): hwrm req_type 0x1d seq id 0xb error 0x2
