Subject: [PATCH 4.9 12/63] bnx2x: Clear fip MAC when fcoe offload support is disabled

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit bbf666c1af916ed74795493c564df6fad462cc80 ]

On some customer setups it was observed that shmem contains a non-zero fip
MAC for 57711 which would lead to enabling of SW FCoE.
Add a software workaround to clear the bad fip mac address if no FCoE
connections are supported.
