I think it's just a waste of space.

The same MAC address does not occupy two HW entries, which is also a
waste for HW. After all, HW entry resources are also limited.
The PMD should also take this into account.
So, I think, we don't have to think about it here.

The logic above seems to be good. But if .mac_addr_set() failed to
execute, the addr has been removed from HW and 'dev->data->mac_addrs[]'.
It's not good.
Hope for your reply. Thanks.
