v2: If reading the MAC address from eeprom fail don't throw an error, use randomly generated MAC instead. Either way the adapter will soldier on and the return type of set_ethernet_addr() can be reverted to void. v1: Fix a bug in set_ethernet_addr() which does not take into account possible errors (or partial reads) returned by its helpers. This can potentially lead to writing random data into device's MAC address registers. Signed-off-by: Petko Manolov <petko.manolov@konsulko.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
