[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/nfp: write PF MAC to config BAR

2017-09-13 Thread Alejandro Lucero

VFs rely on config BAR for getting the MAC address, although a random one is created a valid address is not found. A PF port has a fixed MAC which is currently acquired using the NSPU interface. Some NFP firmwares require the MAC being writing back to the config BAR for doing proper MAC filtering.
