In current implementation, dev->data->dev_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf in PMD
does not hold the rss_key value if user does not set it in the input parameter of rte_eth_dev_configure().
Even if PMD generate one automatically, it will not be saved in dev->data->dev_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.
When user want to get rss_key, it will be retrieved on the fly from hardware, but not from any variable
in PMD.
So PMD (ice and i40e) think only rss_key which is set by user via rte_eth_dev_configure() can be reused
when port is reconfigured.
If it is not present, PMD will generate one by itself anyway even if it is present in vsi->rss_key.
I don’t think this behavior is wrong, so did not fix ice PMD.
