Speak too fast. Some questions:

1) Any reason that you do such check or get_config() instead of doing it
once in device initalization
get_config()  was called before the device realized.  If we check in the device initalization, the mac address is already overwritten to 0 and we lost the default mac address
Also for my understanding. the mac address read from hardware should never been 0, so we need to check it every time we got it, Just in case it will change to 0 and overwrite the mac address while the qemu running or some other case  
2) the indentation looks wrong
sure will fix this  
3) There's no need for an error here since we can workaround it
sure, I will change it to log
 
 
Thanks
