    i40e: remove workaround for Open Firmware MAC address · 28921a0c
    Jacob Keller authored
    Since commit b499ffb0 ("i40e: Look up MAC address in Open Firmware
    or IDPROM"), we've had support for obtaining the MAC address
    form Open Firmware or IDPROM.
    
    This code relied on sending the Open Firmware address directly to the
    device firmware instead of relying on our MAC/VLAN filter list. Thus,
    a work around was introduced in commit b1b15df5 ("i40e: Explicitly
    write platform-specific mac address after PF reset")
    
    We refactored the Open Firmware address enablement code in the ill-named
    commit 41c4c2b5 ("i40e: allow look-up of MAC address from Open
    Firmware or IDPROM")
    
    Since this refactor, we no longer even set I40E_FLAG_PF_MAC. Further, we
    don't need this work around, because we actually store the MAC address
    as part of the MAC/VLAN filter hash. Thus, we will restore the address
    correctly upon reset.
    
    The refactor above failed to revert the workaround, so do that now.
