Subject: [PATCHv2 net-next] net: gianfar: fix NVMEM mac address
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2024 15:09:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240910220913.14101-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
If nvmem loads after the ethernet driver, mac address assignments will
not take effect. of_get_ethdev_address returns EPROBE_DEFER in such a
case so we need to handle that to avoid eth_hw_addr_random.
Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>
v2: use goto instead of return
