Getting device mac address is currently based on a specific MCDI command only available for the PF. This patch changes the MCDI command to a generic one for PFs and VFs based on a client handle. This allows both PFs and VFs to ask for their mac address during initialization using the CLIENT_HANDLE_SELF. Moreover, the patch allows other client handles which will be used by the PF to ask for mac addresses linked to VFs. This is necessary for suporting the port_function_hw_addr_get devlink function in further patches.

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.
