Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] netconsole: allow selection of egress interface via
 MAC address

This series adds support for selecting a netconsole egress interface by
specifying the MAC address (in place of the interface name) in the
boot/module parameter.

Changes since v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241211021851.1442842-1-ushankar@purestorage.com/):
- Add a patch to define and use MAC_ADDR_LEN (Simon Horman)
- Remove ability to use MAC address to select egress interface via
  configfs (Breno Leitao)
- Misc style fixes (Simon Horman, Breno Leitao)
