From 2f710a3a8089c12dfe3c0cf04bb0a3dee3dea019 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Linton Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:46:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] device property: Add ETH_ALEN check, update comments. This patch adds MAC address length check back into the device_get_mac_addr() function before calling is_valid_ether_addr() similar to the way the OF routine does it. Update the comments for the two new functions. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Linton Signed-off-by: David S.
