[ Upstream commit 5d1a04f347e6cbf5ffe74da409a5d71fbe8c5f19 ]
Initialize the source MAC address when creating the default GID entry. Since this entry is used only for loopback traffic, it only needs to be a unicast address. A zeroed-out MAC address is sufficient for this purpose. Without this fix, random bits would be assigned as the source address. If these bits formed a multicast address, the firmware would return an error, preventing the user from switching to switchdev mode:
