These two entries are added by the bridge driver ('master' is set). You
get two entries because you didn't specify a VLAN, so one entry is
installed with VLAN 0 (no VLAN) and the second is installed because VLAN
1 is configured on eth6.

This entry is from the HW. It corresponds to the first entry above.

I assume you are using VLAN 4095 for untagged traffic, so this entry
probably corresponds to the second entry above.

IIUC, your driver is adding the entry to the bridge and with a specific
VLAN. So you have one entry reported by the bridge driver and a
corresponding entry in HW.
