      As a system administrator responsible for managing cluster networking configurations,

      I want to refer to bond ports using the profile name based on MAC address,

      So that I can manage network configurations without depending on kernel device names, particularly when drivers or firmware updates might alter predictable interface names, causing potential networking disruptions.

      Given a system administrator is configuring network bonding through nmstate,

      When they define ethernet interfaces by MAC addresses and refer to these interfaces using profile names within the bond configuration,

      Then nmstate should successfully set up the bond using the ethernet interfaces based solely on the provided MAC addresses, regardless of kernel device names.

      Definition of Done

      • The implementation meets the acceptance criteria
      • The unit tests and integration tests are written and passed
      • The code is part of a build attached to an errata

      In https://github.com/nmstate/nmstate/issues/2380 , OpenShift MCO team would like to use MAC address referring for bond and expecting this YAML file would work:

      interfaces: 
- name: bond0
  type: bond
  state: up
  link-aggregation: 
    mode: balance-rr
    ports-config: 
    - profile-name: bond0-port1
    - profile-name: bond0-port2
- name: bond0-port1
  type: ethernet
  state: up
  identifier: mac-address
  mac-address: 00:23:45:67:89:1a
- name: bond0-port2
  type: ethernet
  state: up
  identifier: mac-address
  mac-address: 00:23:45:67:89:1b
