Merge branch '40GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/net-queue

Tony Nguyen says:

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2025-07-21 (i40e, ice, e1000e)

For i40e:
Dennis Chen adjusts reporting of VF Tx dropped to a more appropriate
field.

Jamie Bainbridge fixes a check which can cause a PF set VF MAC address
to be lost.

For ice:
Haoxiang Li adds an error check in DDP load to prevent NULL pointer
dereference.

For e1000e:
Jacek Kowalski adds workarounds for issues surrounding Tiger Lake
platforms with uninitialized NVMs.

* '40GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/net-queue:
  e1000e: ignore uninitialized checksum word on tgp
  e1000e: disregard NVM checksum on tgp when valid checksum bit is not set
  ice: Fix a null pointer dereference in ice_copy_and_init_pkg()
  i40e: When removing VF MAC filters, only check PF-set MAC
  i40e: report VF tx_dropped with tx_errors instead of tx_discards
