Ooh new shiny code. :)
You've broken something though, now decoding the response fails:

dhcpclient: Failed decoding packet: Found trailing garbage parsing type "ether". Expected length <= 6 bytes, got 16 bytes

Although an ethernet address is indeed on 6 bytes, the DHCP field "chaddr" is padded to 16 characters with zeroes.
I've fixed this by restoring these lines here:

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/05e6c40d9319e6fec179101139e718be99635176/src/protocols/dhcpv4/packet.c#L161

                case FR_TYPE_ETHERNET:
                        memcpy(vp->vp_ether, p, sizeof(vp->vp_ether));
                        break;


Regards,
