[PATCH] net: macsec: use TX SCI as MAC address

From: Radu Pirea (NXP OSS)
Date: Tue Aug 08 2023 - 12:09:32 EST


According to IEEE 802.1AE the SCI comprises the MAC address and the port
identifier.
If a new MACsec interface is created with a specific TX SCI, use that
SCI to set the MAC address of the new interface.
