> Currently in the i40e driver there is no implementation of different MAC
> address handling depending on whether it is a legacy or primary.
> Introduce new checks for VF to be able to specify its primary MAC address
> based on the VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY type.
> 
> Primary MAC address are treated differently compared to legacy ones in a
> scenario where:
> 1. If a unicast MAC is being added and it's specified as
> VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY, then replace the current
> default_lan_addr.addr.
> 2. If a unicast MAC is being deleted and it's type is specified as
> VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY, then zero the hw_lan_addr.addr.
