[PATCH 0/1][SRU][J/OEM-5.17/U] Fix invalid MAC address after hotplug tbt dock

[Aaron Ma]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1942999

[Impact]
igc driver can not connect to network after re-plugin thunderbolt dock
when
MAC passthrough enabled in BIOS.

[Fix]
Wait for the MAC copy of BIOS when enabled MAC passthrough.
Intel engineer wants a different solution and promise to discuss with
firmware engineer.
Due to the schedule, made this as a short term solution to fix the
issue, and wait for the other
fix from Intel.

[Test]
Verified on hardware, after hotplug the thunderbolt cable,
Ethernet works fine.

[Where problems could occur]
It may break the igc driver.

Intel still doesn't provide any solution about their approach.
In the meantime, this patch is still the only fix.
Re-submit it to Jammy, oem-5.17 and Unstable kernel.
