Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 6/9] net/mlx4_en: Save previous MAC address of the port so we can replace it later

From: Yan Burman <yanb@...lanox.com>

In preparation to having more than one unicast MAC per port, we need to keep track
of the previous MAC address in the flow of ndo_set_mac_address,
so that mlx4_en_replace_mac will know what to replace.
