seems very similar to ncsi_rsp_handler_oem_gma except address_count, why it
shouldn't be part of this call with additional param? What's inside it just
code duplicity of ncsi_rsp_handler_oem_gma.

And as we talked in openbmc mailing list, ndo_set_mac_address do not notify
network layer about mac change and this fixed part already in
ncsi_rsp_handler_oem_gma with 790071347a0a1a89e618eedcd51c687ea783aeb3 .

David, any actions should be needed about fixing it in net-next? Need it to
put patch above with fix or do the revert from net-next and make it right?

Thanks.
