[PATCH 0/8] validate MAC address before call .ndo_set_mac_address

[Danny Kukawka <danny.kukawka@bisect.de>]

Validate the given MAC address directly in dev_set_mac_address()
if a .ndo_validate_addr function is available before calling
the .ndo_set_mac_address function.

Changed .ndo_validate_addr to take a second parameter containing
a sockaddr struct to be checked instead of the net_device dev_addr.
The behaviour of .ndo_validate_addr is now: if the second parameter
is NULL the net_device->dev_addr gets validate, if != NULL
the given parameter/sockaddr gets validated instead.

This patch series include adaptations for some drivers which
use .ndo_set_mac_address functions directly - to prevent double
checks and to enable validations via .ndo_validate_addr.

If these patches get accepted, an other series will follow
to cleanup the validation checks in the .ndo_set_mac_address 
functions.

Note: resend for ML's
