IIUC, updating the MAC address using devlink interface requires 
unbinding the device from driver and hence updating the MAC while vdpa 
device is in-use won't be possible. It can only be done via control vq 
VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC_ADDR_SET command, when available.

No, this was carefully avoided by overwriting the userspace provisioned 
MAC in ef100_vdpa_create():

         rc = get_net_config(vdpa_nic);
         if (rc)
                 goto err_put_device;

         if (mac) {
                 ether_addr_copy(vdpa_nic->mac_address, mac);
                 vdpa_nic->mac_configured = true;
         }
