While this is safe, as this follows a u16, it's unnecessary.
Also, ideally, this would be
u8 foo[ETH_ALEN] = {
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
};
or just left on a single line.

If these are used only in tests, these are probably better
being removed and using is_<foo>_ether_addr or maybe
if these used in things other than tests, being converted
to static const so they are not reinitialized on each
call of the function.
