[net-next PATCH 0/2] eth: fbnic: Update BMC MAC address handling
From: Alexander Duyck <hidden>

Update the handling of BMC MAC addresses on fbnic. This patch series
consists of 2 patches.
The first addresses the fact that if we had BMC present but no BMC MAC
address it would cause the system to fail to come up as it would consider
it a malformed frame. Rather than do that we can simply treat it as the BMC
not actually being present. The assumption is that the firmware will send
us a follow-on message when it gets the MAC address sorted out from the
BMC.
The second diff cleans up the BMC MAC addresses in the TCAMs if the BMC
opts to disable the channel and the FW notifies us of the BMC removal. By
doing this we can terminate the now defunct paths through our NIC data path
to the BMC.
