This series fixes issues with handling administrative and operstate of macsec devices.
Radu Rendec proposed another version of the first patch [0] but I'd rather not follow the behavior of vlan devices, going with macvlan does instead. Patrick Talbert also reported the same issue to me. The second patch is a follow-up. The restriction on setting the device up is a bit unreasonable, and operstate provides the information we need in this case.
