Subject: [PATCHv2 wireless] wifi: mt76: fix MAC address for non OF pcie cards
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 16:28:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706232857.807044-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

If seems the check for err is wrong as the proper macaddr gets written
to from the EEPROM itself. Meaning checking err from of_get_mac_address is
wrong as the proper macaddr has been written by this point.
