Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid writing the mac address before first reading
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2024 11:55:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240410095603.502566-1-jtornosm@redhat.com> (raw)
After the commit d2689b6a86b9 ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid two
consecutive device resets"), reset operation, in which the default mac
address from the device is read, is not executed from bind operation and
the random address, that is pregenerated just in case, is direclty written
the first time in the device, so the default one from the device is not
even read. This writing is not dangerous because is volatile and the
default mac address is not missed.
In order to avoid this, do not allow writing a mac address directly into
the device, if the default mac address from the device has not been read
yet.
cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.6+
Fixes: d2689b6a86b9 ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid two consecutive device resets")
