Before this patch during either switchdev or legacy mode enablement we cleared the mac address of vports between changes. This change allows us to preserve the vports mac address between eswitch mode changes. Vports hold information for VFs/SFs such as the permanent mac address. VF/SF mac can be set either by iproute vf interface or devlink function interface. For no obvious reason we reset it to 0 on switchdev/legacy mode changes, this patch is fixing that, to align with other vport information that are never reset, e.g GUID,mtu,promisc mode, etc ..

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
