> Subject: [PATCH V4 1/2] net/mlx5: update how MAC address bit-fields are
> used
>
> Previously, mac_own was a bit-field indicating the MAC addresses owned by
> the PMD, specifically marking those added to VFs by the PMD and allowing
> them to be flushed during exit.
>
> With this commit, the bit-field now applies to all MAC addresses added by the
> PMD, including those for PF, VF, and SFs.
>
> This patch does not introduce any changes in behavior; it continues to flush
> only the MAC added for VF, just as before. It serves as preparation for
> addressing the multicast MAC address issue.
