In rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set, before call dev_ops->mac_addr_set,
The dev->data->mac_addrs[0] is already set to the input addr.

So the if loop is the same as above if, why not merge them? 


If you look the code in eth_i40e_dev_init, you will found the 
dev->data->mac_addrs[0]
Is just the hw->mac.addr. And I think we need to make them same all the time.
So hw->mac.addr may also need to be updated.


Thanks for figure it out!
