[PATCH 1/2] vdpa/mlx5: update mlx_features with driver state check
From: Cindy Lu
Date: Wed Nov 05 2025 - 03:02:15 EST
Add logic in mlx5_vdpa_set_attr() to ensure the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC
feature bit is properly set only when the device is not yet in
the DRIVER_OK (running) state.
This makes the MAC address visible in the output of:
vdpa dev config show -jp
when the device is created without an initial MAC address.
