> As with that fix, attempt to look up the MAC address in Open Firmware

> In the case of the i40e there is an assumption that the default mac
> address has already been set up as the primary mac filter on probe,
> so if this filter is obtained from the Open Firmware or IDPROM, an
> explicit write is needed via i40e_aq_mac_address_write() and
> i40e_aq_add_macvlan() invocation.
