What is still open is do we want to accept it at all? Do we accept the
concept of putting the same MAC address on multiple interfaces at
hotplug time? Do we trust BIOS vendors to not keep changing DSDT
property name, since it is not standardised?

Do we want this at all should be decided by somebody more senior then
those passing comments on the code.
Indeed, I think the behavior of using the same MAC address on multiple
interfaces if we plug several of these in at once is not good.

We shouldn't behave this way just because the Microsoft driver does.
