Right now ath10k does not support that, but in the future we might want
to add mac address as well. We need to do some testing with the firmware
to make sure that we can safely change the "main" address from ath10k.

And because of Virtual AP (mBSSID) feature we actually would need to
provide multiple addresses, not just one. Maybe with addr_mask like
struct wiphy has?

 * @perm_addr: permanent MAC address of this device
 * @addr_mask: If the device supports multiple MAC addresses by masking,
 *	set this to a mask with variable bits set to 1, e.g. if the last
 *	four bits are variable then set it to 00-00-00-00-00-0f. The actual
 *	variable bits shall be determined by the interfaces added, with
 *	interfaces not matching the mask being rejected to be brought up.

	/* permanent MAC address(es) */
	u8 perm_addr[ETH_ALEN];
	u8 addr_mask[ETH_ALEN];
