Subject: [PATCH Linux-6.8-rc5 1/1] ixgbevf: start negotiate with api version 1.4
Date: Fri,  1 Mar 2024 15:58:37 -0800

ixgbevf updates to api version to 1.5 via
	commit 339f28964147d ("ixgbevf: Add support for new mailbox
	communication between PF and VF")
while the pf side is not updated to 1.5 properly. It will lead to a
failure of negotiation of api version 1.5 This commit will enforce
the negotiation to start with 1.4 which is working fine.

Normally the pf and vf side should be updated together. Example:
	commit adef9a26d6c39 ("ixgbevf: add defines for IPsec offload request")
	commit 7269824046376 ("ixgbe: add VF IPsec offload request message handling")
