[ Upstream commit cfcab3b3b61584a02bb523ffa99564eafa761dfe ]
In the current code, we setup the port to PHY or MAC loopback mode
and then transmit a test broadcast packet for the loopback test. This
scheme fails sometime if the port is shared with management firmware
that can also send packets. The driver may receive the management
firmware's packet and the test will fail when the contents don't
match the test packet.
Change the test packet to use it's own MAC address as the destination
and setup the port to only receive it's own MAC address. This should
filter out other packets sent by management firmware.
Fixes: 91725d89b97a ("bnxt_en: Add PHY loopback to ethtool self-test.")

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.
