From 3c91c7ae84966f992429e1e128c4936f22b89064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Fainelli Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:57:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ep93xx-eth: check for zero MAC address on probe, not on device open If we happen to have registered the driver without passing a MAC address, we will print a zero MAC address and register the interface with this invalid address, this is confusin. This patch moves the checking of a valid ethernet address and the generation of a random one down from the open function to the probe function.
