Subject: [PATCH] of: net: Add option for random mac address
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2024 15:05:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241010190508.196894-1-igilca1980@gmail.com> (raw)
Embedded devices that may not have fixed mac address
may want to use a randomly generated one.
DSA switch ports are some of these.
