The VEB (virtual embedded switch) as a switch element can be
connected according datasheet though its uplink to:
- Physical port
- Port Virtualizer (not used directly by i40e driver but can
be present in MFP mode where the physical port is shared
between PFs)
- No uplink (aka floating VEB)
But VEB uplink cannot be connected to another VEB and any attempt
to do so results in:
that indicates "the uplink SEID does not point to valid element".
Remove this logic from the driver code this way:
1) For debugfs only allow to build floating VEB (uplink_seid == 0)
or main VEB (uplink_seid == mac_seid)
2) Do not recurse in i40e_veb_link_event() as no VEB cannot have
sub-VEBs
3) Ditto for i40e_veb_rebuild() + simplify the function as we know
that the VEB for rebuild can be only the main LAN VEB or some
of the floating VEBs
4) In i40e_rebuild() there is no need to check veb->uplink_seid
as the possible ones are 0 and MAC SEID
5) In i40e_vsi_release() do not take into account VEBs whose
uplink is another VEB as this is not possible
6) Remove veb_idx field from i40e_veb as a VEB cannot have
sub-VEBs
