 vfinfo[vf].vf_mac_addresses  contains the perm_addr MAC address.
I do not want to overwrite this with a zero address. If the VF is attached again it uses the perm_addr  MAC address.
The follow sequence works fine for me in testpmd, the VF is port 1:

Testpmd> port stop 1
Testpmd> port close 1 		/* VF MAC address is set to zero here */
Testpmd> port detach 1
Testpmd> port attach 0000:04:10.0  
Testpmd> show port info 1	/* VF MAC address is perm_addr MAC address */

Regards,

Bernard.
