Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ath5k: don't change mac in eeprom_read_mac on error
Date: Sat,  7 Mar 2009 10:26:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1236418002-2189-2-git-send-email-jirislaby@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1236418002-2189-1-git-send-email-jirislaby@gmail.com>

Do not touch mac parameter passed to ath5k_eeprom_read_mac unless
we are sure we have correct address. I.e. when returning error, do
not change it.

While at it, use '= {}' compiler trick for memsetting mac_d.
