[ Upstream commit 19058be7c48ceb3e60fa3948e24da1059bd68ee4 ]
Assign a random mac address to the VF interface station
address if it boots with a zero mac address in order to match
similar behavior seen in other VF drivers. Handle the errors
where the older firmware does not allow the VF to set its own
station address.
Newer firmware will allow the VF to set the station mac address
if it hasn't already been set administratively through the PF.
Setting it will also be allowed if the VF has trust.

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.
