From 001154eb242b5a6667b74e5cf20873fb75f1b9d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Chan Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 03:58:06 -0400 Subject: bnxt_en: Call firmware to approve the random VF MAC address. After generating the random MAC address for VF, call the firmware to approve it. This step serves 2 purposes. Some hypervisor (e.g. ESX) wants to approve the MAC address. 2nd, the call will setup the proper forwarding database in the internal switch. We need to unlock the hwrm_cmd_lock mutex before calling bnxt_approve_mac(). We can do that because we are at the end of the function and all the previous firmware response data has been copied.
