[PATCH net 2/2] net: enetc: prevent PF from configuring MAC address for an enabled VF

[Wei Fang <wei.fang@nxp.com>]

If PF changes the MAC address of VF after VF is enabled, VF cannot sense
the change of its own MAC address, and the MAC address in VF's net_device
is still the original MAC address, which will cause the VF's network to
not work properly. Therefore, we should restrict PF to configure VF's MAC
address only when VF is disabled.

Of course, another solution is to notify VF of this event when PF changes
VF's MAC address, but the PSI-to-VSI messaging is not implemented in the
current PF and VF drivers, so this solution is not suitable at present,
If PSI-to-VSI messaging is supported in the future, we can remove the
current restriction to enhance the PF's ability to configure the VF's MAC
address.

Fixes: d4fd0404c1c9 ("enetc: Introduce basic PF and VF ENETC ethernet drivers")
