Subject: [PATCH net 06/11] net: au1000: assign a valid MAC address without platform data
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:31:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027223140.3774570-7-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027223140.3774570-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com>
The supported no-platform-data path leaves dev_addr as all zeroes. The
device can register but eth_validate_addr() prevents it from opening.
Generate a random address just as for platform data containing an
invalid address.
Fixes: 7718f2c27dbd ("au1000_eth: use eth_hw_addr_random() instead of random_ether_addr()")
