The following two scenarios were failing for lan966x.
1. If the port had the address X and then trying to assign the same
address, then the HW was just removing this address because first it
tries to learn new address and then delete the old one. As they are
the same the HW remove it.
2. If the port eth0 was assigned the same address as one of the other
ports eth1 then when assigning back the address to eth0 then the HW
was deleting the address of eth1.
The case 1. is fixed by checking if the port has already the same
address while case 2. is fixed by checking if the address is used by any
other port.

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.
