Marek Vasut 6f2648838c wifi: wilc1000: Set MAC after operation mode ...

[ Upstream commit 29dd3e48b9 ]

It seems it is necessary to set WILC MAC address after operation mode,
otherwise the MAC address of the WILC MAC is reset back to what is in
nvmem. This causes a failure to associate with AP after the WILC MAC
address was overridden by userspace.

Test case:
"
ap$ cat << EOF > hostap.conf
interface=wlan0
ssid=ssid
hw_mode=g
channel=6
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=pass
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
EOF
ap$ hostapd -d hostap.conf
ap$ ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1
"

"
sta$ ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
sta$ wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase ssid pass)
sta$ ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.2
sta$ ping 10.0.0.1 # fails without this patch
"

AP still indicates SA with original MAC address from nvmem without this patch:
"
nl80211: RX frame da=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff sa=60:01:23:45:67:89 bssid=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ...
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
