[PATCH net 2/5] net: lan966x: Fix usage of lan966x->mac_lock when entry is added

From: Horatiu Vultur
Date: Thu Jul 14 2022 - 15:37:09 EST


To add an entry to the MAC table, it is required first to setup the
entry and then issue a command for the MAC to learn the entry.
So if it happens for two threads to add simultaneously an entry in MAC
table then it would be a race condition.
Fix this by using lan966x->mac_lock to protect the HW access.
