From fa42245dff4a5f2f8f208da542acbd80c22f7c65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hari Vyas Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 17:59:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: bgmac: mac address change bug ndo_set_mac_address() passes struct sockaddr * as 2nd parameter to bgmac_set_mac_address() but code assumed u8 *. This caused two bytes chopping and the wrong mac address was configured.
