766607570b ethernet: constify references to netdev->dev_addr in drivers
This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev->dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

cfc77c2fba sfc: save old MAC address in case sriov_mac_address_changed fails
Otherwise the PF and VF can disagree on the VF's MAC address and
this leads to strange behaviour, up to and including kernel panics.

7fa8d54704 sfc: Own header for nic-specific sriov functions, single instance of netdev_ops and sriov removed from Falcon code
By putting all the efx_{siena,ef10}_sriov_* declarations in
{siena,ef10}_sriov.h, ensure they cannot be called from nic-generic code.
Also fixes up an instance of this, where mcdi.c was calling
efx_siena_sriov_flr.

The single instance of netdev_ops should call general high level
functions that can then call something adapter specific in efx_nic_type.
We should only do adapter specialisation via efx_nic_type.

Removal of sriov functionality from the Falcon code means that tests
are needed for the presence of some callbacks.
