From: Cindy Lu
Date: Sun Jul 21 2024 - 21:06:49 EST


Add support for setting the MAC address using the VDPA tool.
This feature will allow setting the MAC address using the VDPA tool.
For example, in vdpa_sim_net, the implementation sets the MAC address
to the config space. However, for other drivers, they can implement their
own function, not limited to the config space.

Changelog v2
- Changed the function name to prevent misunderstanding
- Added check for blk device
- Addressed the comments
Changelog v3
- Split the function of the net device from vdpa_nl_cmd_dev_attr_set_doit
- Add a lock for the network device's dev_set_attr operation
- Address the comments
Changelog v4
- Address the comments
- Add a lock for the vdap_sim_net device's dev_set_attr operation
