You can't do this. This is a list for a reason - its possible to have multiple addresses per network interface. You can't just shove whatever extra data you want in here just because.

addr is already an ipaddress.IPv4Address/ipaddress.IPv6Address - we use ipaddress.ip_address to parse it.
It would make much more sense to just mixin the prefix information and use ipaddress.ip_interface instead.

Actually, we probably should just mark this method as deprecated and introduce a new method that returns interfaces instead of addresses.

First, this isn't the mask - its the prefix.
And I don't think you should add this fixture.
vlan and vlan_set have been the predominant way to get macvlan(s). Your change to get_address breaks all code that uses either of these two fixtures directly. Realise that vlan_addr is just a convenience fixture because of the sheer number of tests that only care about having a second IP address.
But we have a lot of tests that ask for 5 more, for example, and this change will break them.

The vlan mask info is missing before and it is needed in some tests.
