You could still add but should you. I'm not clear from this patch
description what this is supposed to be addressing. If you enable the
"trust" flag for a VF via the "ip link set dev <iface> vf <vfnum>
trust on" it can make use of any resources on the device, but without
that there is an upper limit that is supposed to be enforced to
prevent the VF from making use of an excessive amount of resources.
That is what is being enforced by the code you are moving out of the
way below.

This doesn't make any sense. You are doing the checks after you have
already added the MAC. The only part you aren't doing is sending the
message to the VF indicating that the request was successful.

Same here. You are doing this after the call to i40e_vsi_add_vlan. The
code makes no sense here. This bit of code is supposed to be
preventing a VF from abusing resources if the VF is not privelaged.
