Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 5/7] ethdev: add API to retrieve multiple ethernet addresses

We already have functions to get MAC addresses.
Please explain the difference.

Which error if the array is too small?

Please don't use array syntax in parameters, it should be a pointer.
How do we get the number of returned addresses?

> +	uint32_t num);

Another approach would be to get addresses one by one by passing an index.
