To remove an entry to the MAC table, it is required first to setup the entry and then issue a command for the MAC to forget the entry. So if it happens for two threads to remove simultaneously an entry in MAC table then it would be a race condition. Fix this by using lan966x->mac_lock to protect the HW access.

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.
