In accordance with the OF1.3 spec, OVS sends this error if the hardware
address in a port-mod message does not match the port's hardware
address.

OVS only sends this error in response to a table-mod request.

I would suggest using transaction ids to match the error messages you
are receiving up with the requests you are sending.  Then you can tell
exactly why OVS sends those errors.
