i40e: Add ndo_get_phys_port_id() callback support
This patch adds a new API to get the port mac address from firmware. It also adds support to the ndo_get_phys_port_id() callback to provide port specific unique id to the netdev layer. If the adapter has a valid per-port mac address then that would be used for this purpose and is expected to be unique on a per-port basis. The information can be viewed by reading the phys_port_id attribute in sysfs for each netdev or via IF netlink interface.
