[PATCH RFC net-next 06/13] net: core: dev_addr_lists: export some raw __hw_addr helpers

[Vladimir Oltean]

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.olt...@nxp.com>

DSA switches need to keep the list of addresses which are filtered
towards the CPU port. One DSA switch can have 1 CPU port and many
front-panel (user) ports, each user port having its own MAC address
(they can potentially be all the same MAC address). Filtering towards
the CPU port means adding a FDB address for each user port MAC address
that sends that address to the CPU. There is no net_device associated
with the CPU port. So the DSA switches need to keep their own reference
counting of MAC addresses for which a FDB entry is installed or removed
on the CPU port. Permit that by exporting the raw helpers instead of
operating on a struct net_device.
