Currently, mlxsw enforces that all the router interfaces (RIFs) have the same MAC prefix. Relax this limitation by using RIF MAC profiles. Each profile is associated with a particular MAC prefix and multiple RIFs can use the same profile. Therefore, the number of possible MAC prefixes is no longer one, but the number of profiles supported by the device. Store the profiles in an IDR and reference count them according to the number of RIFs using them. Associate a RIF with a profile when the RIF is created and remove the association when the RIF is deleted. Change the association following 'NETDEV_CHANGEADDR' events, except when only one RIF is using the profile. In which case, change the MAC prefix of the profile itself instead of associating the RIF with a new profile.

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 Restructured Text 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.
