net/mlx5e: Initialize CEE's getpermhwaddr address buffer to 0xff
[ Upstream commit d968f0f2e4404152f37ed2384b4a2269dd2dae5a ]
Latest change in open-lldp code uses bytes 6-11 of perm_addr buffer
as the Ethernet source address for the host TLV packet.
Since our driver does not fill these bytes, they stay at zero and
the open-lldp code ends up sending the TLV packet with zero source
address and the switch drops this packet.
The fix is to initialize these bytes to 0xff. The open-lldp code
considers 0xff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff as the invalid address and falls back to
use the host's mac address as the Ethernet source address.
Fixes: 3a6a931dfb8e ("net/mlx5e: Support DCBX CEE API")
