Subject: bonding: handle case of device named bonding_master
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=38d2f38be9e4a2f1e3324c973a903aa972f71d0f;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

bonding: handle case of device named bonding_master

If device already exists named bonding_masters, then fail. This is a wierd
corner case only a QA group could love.
