Overall lgtm, please check a few comments below.

Instead of hardcoded type values 1 & 2, can you please use macros?

Is this log needs to be in INFO level, since there is already and info level log
when MAC set, what about making this debug?

Can you please update RTE_PMD_REGISTER_PARAM_STRING with new param, put expected
format info there as well?

I would extract the string to mac logic into its own function, but up to you.

And this is not related to this patch, but just as reminder, when a virtual
driver probe fails vdev bus stops probing with an error, so all remaining
virtual devices are not probed, in case one might want to fix ;)

"User defined MAC" ? And can you please add an port identifier, port_id or
device name or interface name, for the case there are multiple tap device to
identify which one get user defined MAC.
