HI,


I don't have any other suggestion for you except following.

Device control register should be RW register and not RO register. Only device capability register is RO.

  • Unless the VF register value is carry forward from PF and can't be edited directly

  • If it still doesn't work then likely this is capability limit of VF


Regards,

dlim
