Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] net: mvpp2: set mac address does not require the stop/start sequence

From: Yan Markman <ymarkman@...vell.com>

Remove special stop/start handling from the set_mac_address callback.
All this special care is not needed, and can be removed. It also
simplifies the up/down status in the driver and helps avoiding possible
link status mismatch issues.
