Thanks.

The commit dd40781e3a4e ("sfc: Run event/IRQ self-test asynchronously 
when interface is brought up") add efx_selftest_async_start() into
efx_net_open(), it was okay then since efx_net_open() was only invoked
by the callback. Base on the original purpose of this commit, the
way [2][3] makes sense.

The commit e340be923012 ("sfc: add ndo_set_vf_mac() function for EF10")
first add efx_ef10_sriov_set_vf_mac(), it invoke efx_net_open(), then
this UAF scenario started.

I'll remove RFC and add Fixes in v2.

Fixes: e340be923012 ("sfc: add ndo_set_vf_mac() function for EF10")
