Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v3] idpf: set mac type when adding and removing MAC filters

On control planes that allow changing the MAC address of the interface,
the driver must provide a MAC type to avoid errors such as:

idpf 0000:0a:00.0: Transaction failed (op 535)
idpf 0000:0a:00.0: Received invalid MAC filter payload (op 535) (len 0)
idpf 0000:0a:00.0: Transaction failed (op 536)

These errors occur during driver load or when changing the MAC via:
ip link set <iface> address <mac>

Add logic to set the MAC type when sending ADD/DEL (opcodes 535/536) to
the control plane. Since only one primary MAC is supported per vport, the
driver only needs to send an ADD opcode when setting it. Remove the old
address by calling __idpf_del_mac_filter(), which skips the message and
just clears the entry from the internal list. This avoids an error on DEL
as it attempts to remove an address already cleared by the preceding ADD
opcode.

Changelog:
v3:
- Update the commit message to clarify the change in logic from ADD/DEL 
  to just ADD in idpf_set_mac() is to avoid another case where the control plane will 
  return an error.
- s/old_address/old_mac_address/g
- Refactored idpf_set_mac_type() to use ternary operator for setting
  the MAC type based on whether the address is primary or not.

v2:
- Make sure to clear the primary MAC from the internal list, following
  successful change.
- Update the description to include the error on 536 opcode and
  mention the removal of the old address.

v1:
