The current driver only has an array of 4 additional L2 unicast addresses to support the netdev uc address list. Generalize and expand this infrastructure with an L2 address hash table so we can support an expanded list of unicast addresses (for bridges, macvlans, OVS, etc). The L2 hash table infrastructure will also allow more generalized n-tuple filter support. This patch creates the bnxt_l2_filter structure and the hash table. This L2 filter structure has the same bnxt_filter_base structure as used in the bnxt_ntuple_filter structure. All currently supported L2 filters will now have an entry in this new table. Note that L2 filters may be created for the VF. VF filters should not be freed when the PF goes down. Add some logic in bnxt_free_l2_filters() to allow keeping the VF filters or to free everything during rmmod.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
