Subject: [net-next 12/12] ixgbevf: Adjust to handle unassigned MAC address from PF

From: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@...el.com>

If the administrator has not assigned a MAC address to the VF via the
PF then handle it gracefully by generating a temporary MAC address.
This ensures that we always know when we have a random address and
udev won't get upset about it.
