From: Subbaraya Sundeep <sbhatta@xxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a8db854be28622a2477cb21cdf7f829adbb2c42d ]
PF forwards its VF messages to AF and corresponding
replies from AF to VF. AF sets proper error code in the
replies after processing message requests. Currently PF
checks the error codes in replies and sends invalid
message to VF. This way VF lacks the information of
error code set by AF for its messages. This patch
changes that such that PF simply forwards AF replies
so that VF can handle error codes.
