    selftests: mlxsw: one_armed_router: Use port MAC for bridge address · 664bc72d
    Petr Machata authored
    In a future patch, mlxsw will start adding RIFs to uppers of front panel
    port netdevices, if they have an IP address.
    
    At the time that the front panel port is enslaved to the bridge, the bridge
    MAC address does not have the same prefix as other interfaces in the
    system. On Nvidia Spectrum-1 machines all the RIFs have to have the same
    38-bit MAC address prefix. Since the bridge does not obey this limitation,
    the RIF cannot be created, and the enslavement attempt is vetoed on the
    grounds of the configuration not being offloadable.
    
    The bridge eventually inherits MAC address from its first member, after the
    enslavement is acked. A number of (mainly VXLAN) selftests already work
    around the problem by setting the MAC address to whatever it will
    eventually be anyway. Do the same for this selftest.
