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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
