Currently, if function adds an existing unicast mac address, eventhough driver will not add this address into hardware, but it will return 0 in function hclge_add_uc_addr_common(). It will cause the state of this unicast mac address is ACTIVE in driver, but it should be in TO-ADD state. To fix this problem, function hclge_add_uc_addr_common() returns -EEXIST if mac address is existing, and delete two error log to avoid printing them all the time after this modification.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
