From: Suman Ghosh <sumang@marvell.com>
Currently, configuring a VF MAC address via the PF (e.g., 'ip link
set <pf> vf 0 mac <mac>') blindly attempts to install a DMAC-based
hardware filter. However, the hardware parser profile might not
support DMAC extraction.
Check if the hardware parsing profile supports DMAC extraction
before adding the filter. Additionally, emit a warning message
to inform the operator if the MAC filter installation fails due
to missing DMAC extraction support. Update config->mac only
after hardware programming succeeds in otx2_set_vf_mac().

v4:
- Return the real mailbox error from the NPC_DMAC support query instead
of masking it as -EINVAL.
- Updated commit message.
v3:
- Update config->mac only after hardware programming succeeds in
otx2_set_vf_mac().
v2:
- Move the DMAC extraction check from otx2_set_vf_mac() into
otx2_do_set_vf_mac() which already holds pf->mbox.lock, so all
mbox operations are under a single lock/unlock pair. All error
paths now use the existing goto-out pattern, eliminating the
scattered mutex_unlock() + return calls from v1.
- Return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of 0 when DMAC extraction is not
supported, so the caller gets an explicit error rather than a
silent success.
