Subject: [PATCH net 0/3] sfc: compat for lack of VADAPTOR_SET_MAC in adaptor_firmware <= 4.1.1.1023

This patch series resolves an incompatibility with legacy
firmware due to the lack of MC_CMD_VADAPTOR_SET_MAC in
adaptor_firmware <= 4.1.1.1023

Unless this patch series is applied there will be a compatibility
issue between the driver and Solarflare adapters running older
firmware. 

Tested with and without CONFIG_SFC_SRIOV

Daniel Pieczko (3):
  sfc: refactor code in efx_ef10_set_mac_address()
  sfc: add legacy method for changing a PF's MAC address
  sfc: suppress handled MCDI failures when changing the MAC address
