But it also means we see inconsistent MAC addresses on the master. The
MAC address changes on open.
Maybe it would be better to change your master so it sets its MAC
address during probe? Everything is then consistent all the time.

I'm trying to suggest our master driver owner to set MAC address during
probe.
I found in kernel, different driver has different implementation, some
set it in probe, while
some in open. DSA should be generic to work with all these master
drivers. I think this change
can help. Thanks.
