The MLX5 device supports up to MLX5_MAX_MAC_ADDRESSES (256) MAC
addresses. The code flushes all MAC devices.
If DPDK is compiled with MLX5_DEBUG this would an assert.
PANIC in mlx5_nl_mac_addr_flush():
line 775 assert "(size_t)(i) < sizeof(mac_own) * 8" failed
The root cause is that mac_own is a pointer and is being used as
a bitmap array. The sizeof(mac_own) would therefore be 64 but the
number of entries to be flushed would be 256.
There is a whole set of asserts in MLX5 netlink code with
the same bug; that should just be changed into proper error checks.
