[PATCH net-next v2 1/7] net: switchdev: change fdb addr for a byte array

[Vivien Didelot]

The address in the switchdev_obj_fdb structure is currently represented
as a pointer. Replacing it for a 6-byte array allows switchdev to carry
addresses directly read from hardware registers, not stored by the
switch chip driver (as in Rocker).
