Is this behavior normal that the lladdrs of all but the first brport
remain unchanged? If so, what is the purpose of changing the lladdr on the first brport?

I don't understand your question, but the Linux bridge code assigns the MAC address of its first-added port to the virtual bridge device.

Best regards,
