How do I enable rx-fcs and rx-all for Intel X710 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Card using i40evf v1.4.15?

[FAssa]

I have tried "ethtool -K rx-fcs on" but it does not work and shows this feature as "fixed." Is there a way to enable this feature using a different method?

The above dmesg command was issued on a VM with SR-IOV. I can understand you may not be able to configure certain NIC attributes on the VF, but shouldn't you be able to do that on the host on the physical port. It still won't allow me to set the "rx-fcs" attribute. I am trying to disable the NIC from stripping the Ethernet CRC field. Here's the output from the host:
