Subject: [net-next 3/5] igb: Fix for Alt MAC Address feature on 82580 and later devices

From: Carolyn Wyborny <carolyn.wyborny@...el.com>

In 82580 and later devices, the alternate MAC address feature is
completely handled by the option ROM and software does not handle
it anymore.  This patch changes the check_alt_mac_addr function to
exit immediately if device is 82580 or later.
