sfc: add legacy method for changing a PF's MAC address
Some versions of MCFW do not support the MC_CMD_VADAPTOR_SET_MAC command, and ENOSYS will be returned. If the PF created its own vport, the function's datapath must be stopped and the vport can be reconfigured to reflect the new MAC address. If the MCFW created the vport for the PF (which is the case when the nic_data->vport_mac is blank), nothing further needs to be done as the vport is not under the control of the PF. This only applies to PFs because the MCFW in question does not support VFs. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah <sshah@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
