    "content": "This patch series fixes an issue where VF creation fails when\nCONFIG_ICE_SWITCHDEV is disabled.\n\nWhen CONFIG_ICE_SWITCHDEV is disabled, the stub function\nice_eswitch_attach_vf() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, causing VF initialization to\nfail even though basic VF functionality should work without switchdev\nsupport.\n\nThe fix is split into two patches:\n1. Add switchdev mode checks at caller sites to fix the immediate\n   issue while maintaining backward compatibility. This ensures\n   ice_eswitch_attach_vf() is only called when switchdev mode is\n   enabled, consistent with how ice_eswitch_attach_sf() is handled.\n2. Remove the now-redundant internal switchdev check from\n   ice_eswitch_attach_vf().\n\nVincent Chen (2):\n  ice: allow creating VFs when !CONFIG_ICE_SWITCHDEV\n  ice: remove redundant switchdev check in ice_eswitch_attach_vf()\n\n drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_eswitch.c |  3 ---\n drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sriov.c   | 14 ++++++++------\n drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_vf_lib.c  |  3 ++-\n 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)"
