Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/10] bnxt_en: Improve bnxt_vf_update_mac().

From: Jeffrey Huang <huangjw@...adcom.com>

Allow the VF to setup its own MAC address if the PF has not administratively
set it for the VF.  If the perm_mac_address returned by firmware is all
zeros, that means the PF has not set up the MAC address for the VF and
we should store it.  This will allow the VF to change the MAC address using
ndo_set_mac_address() when it sees that the stored permanent MAC address
is all zeros.
