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.
