> Do not validate the MAC address during a reset, unless the MAC was set on
> the host. This way the VF will get a new MAC address every time it reloads.
> 
> Remove the "no MAC address assigned" message since it will get spammed
> on reset and it doesn't help much as the MAC on the VF is randomly
> generated.
