Intel x710 with SR-IOV log errors

[jonathan.young]

I have an Intel x710 nic with 24 SR-IOV instances some of which are used in VMs. Before the VMs are launched, I set their mac address and vlan in systemd script like so:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/sbin/ip link set enp43s0f0 vf 1 mac 80:06:90:10:00:01 vlan 1 trust on'

The VMs spin up fine but in dmesg log, I get:

Despite, all my attempts for example: ip link set enp43s0f0 vf 20 state disable, I can never get rid of this error. I wonder if anyone knows either whether I should be worried about these errors or, better, how to setup vf's without generating these errors.
