In case there is no valid MAC address kernel generates random one. This
patch propagate this generated MAC address back to NVS data which will be

This patch implements parsing MAC address from NVS data which are sent to
wl1251 chip. Calibration NVS data could contain valid MAC address and it
will be used instead of randomly generated one.
This patch also moves code for requesting NVS data from userspace to driver
initialization code to make sure that NVS data will be there at time when
permanent MAC address is needed.
Calibration NVS data for wl1251 are device specific. Every device with
wl1251 chip should have been calibrated in factory and needs to provide own
calibration data.
Default example file wl1251-nvs.bin, found in linux-firmware repository,
contains MAC address 00:00:20:07:03:09. So this MAC address is marked as
invalid as it is not real device specific address, just example one.

For ages iproute2 has used `struct rtmsg` as the ancillary header for
FIB rules and in the process set the protocol value to RTPROT_BOOT.
Until ca56209a66 ("net: Allow a rule to track originating protocol")
the kernel rules code ignored the protocol value sent from userspace
and always returned 0 in notifications. To avoid incompatibility with
existing iproute2, send the protocol as a new attribute.

The packet fanout test generates UDP traffic and reads this with
a pair of packet sockets, testing the various fanout algorithms.
Avoid non-determinism from reading unrelated background traffic.
Fanout decisions are made before unrelated packets can be dropped with
a filter, so that is an insufficient strategy [*]. Run the packet
socket tests in a network namespace, similar to msg_zerocopy.
It it still good practice to install a filter on a packet socket
before accepting traffic. Because this is example code, demonstrate
that pattern. Open the socket initially bound to no protocol, install
a filter, and only then bind to ETH_P_IP.
Another source of non-determinism is hash collisions in FANOUT_HASH.
The hash function used to select a socket in the fanout group includes
the pseudorandom number hashrnd, which is not visible from userspace.
To work around this, the test tries to find a pair of UDP source ports
that do not collide. It gives up too soon (5 times, every 32 runs) and
output is confusing. Increase tries to 20 and revise the error msg.
[*] another approach would be to add a third socket to the fanout
group and direct all unexpected traffic here. This is possible
only when reimplementing methods like RR or HASH alongside this
extra catch-all bucket, using the BPF fanout method.
