Maybe fix line is needed here.

We'd better not to change the base code which is from kernel driver. How about changing the i40evf_add_mac_addr function as following:
- if (i40e_validate_mac_addr(addr->addr_bytes) != I40E_SUCCESS) {
+ if (is_zero_ether_addr (addr->addr_bytes) != I40E_SUCCESS) {
Then following modification in eth_i40e_dev_init function can be removed. But we should also pay attention to other functions which call
i40evf_add_mac_addr.
