The MAC address of VF can be configured through the mailbox mechanism of
ENETC, but the previous implementation forgot to set the MAC address in
net_device, resulting in the SMAC of the sent frames still being the old
MAC address. Since the MAC address in the hardware has been changed, Rx
cannot receive frames with the DMAC address as the new MAC address. The
most obvious phenomenon is that after changing the MAC address, we can
see that the MAC address of eno0vf0 has not changed through the "ifconfig
eno0vf0" command and the IP address cannot be obtained .
