drivers: net: cpsw: Set SECURE for dual_emac ucast



Prior to this patch, sending a packet with the source MAC address of one
of the CPSW interfaces to one of the CPSW slave ports while it's configured in
dual_emac mode would update the port_num field of the VLAN/Unicast Address
Table Entry. This would cause it to discard all incoming traffic addressed to
that MAC address, essentially rendering the port useless until the ALE table is
cleared (by starting and stopping the interface or rebooting.)

For example, if eth0 has a MAC address of 90:59:af:8f:43:e9 it will have
an ALE table entry:

00 00 00 00 59 90 02 30 e9 43 8f af
(VLAN Addr vlan_id=2 unicast type=0 port_num=0 addr=90:59:af:8f:43:e9)

If you configure another device with the same MAC address and connect it
to the first CPSW slave port and send some traffic the ALE table entry
becomes:

04 00 00 00 59 90 02 30 e9 43 8f af
(VLAN Addr vlan_id=2 unicast type=0 port_num=1 addr=90:59:af:8f:43:e9)

>From this point forward all incoming traffic addressed to
90:59:af:8f:43:e9 will be dropped.

Setting the SECURE bit for the VLAN/Unicast address table entry for each
interface's MAC address corrects the problem.
