Subject: [PATCH] staging: r8188eu: fall back to random mac address
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2022 09:55:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220713075552.140927-1-martin@kaiser.cx> (raw)

Call eth_random_addr to generate a random mac address if we cannot load
the mac address from the efuses.

Do not use a constant mac address as fallback. This may create conflicts
if we have several r8188eu devices on the network.
