[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/7] net/hns3: remove redundant MAC addr check when setting MAC

["Wei Hu (Xavier)" <huwei013@chinasoftinc.com>]

From: Chengchang Tang <tangchengchang@huawei.com>

This patch removes unnecessary MAC address validity check operation in the
.mac_addr_set ops implementation function named hns3_set_default_mac_addr
and hns3vf_set_default_mac_addr, because it has been guaranteed that input
parameter named mac_addr is valid address in the rte layer of DPDK
framework.
