Question about ORs stub driver behavior

[Alexander Valitov]

Hi,

When ORe stub driver initializes virtual interface in l4x_ore_init_device()
function, It tries to allocate hardware MAC address for all devices EXCEPT
"lo" device:

if (strcmp(devname, "lo"))
	priv->config.ro_keep_device_mac = 1;
else
	priv->config.ro_keep_device_mac = 0;

Here if devname=="lo" then strcmp() returns 0 and we tries to get virtual
MAC for "lo".
Is it intended behavior?
Why do we need HW MAC for HW NIC and virtual one for "lo"?
How in this case several Linux instances will use the same HW MAC?

Best Regards, Alexander Valitov
