Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 54cb59cf81 net: netdevsim: Support setting dev->perm_addr on port creation
Network management daemons that match on the device permanent address
currently have no virtual interface types to test against.
NetworkManager, in particular, has carried an out of tree patch to set
the permanent address on netdevsim devices to use in its CI for this
purpose.

To support this use case, support setting netdev->perm_addr when
creating a netdevsim port.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
