Hi.  The 'requested_hwaddr' configuration is only supposed to be used for
'dpdk-vf-mac' configuration.  And the netdev_dpdk_reconfigure() already
sets it to dev->hwaddr on success of netdev_dpdk_set_etheraddr__().

The only issue might be if you managed to get netdev_dpdk_set_etheraddr()
called.  And that should not happen because netdev_set_ereraddr() is only
used for 'internal' ports.

I'm assuming you're running OVS with some custom changes?

In any case, 'requested_hwaddr' field should not be re-used for normal
MAC address configuration for the port.  It's only for the VF MAC address.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
