[PATCH net v4 2/2] net: ethernet: bgmac: mac address change bug

From: Jon Mason
Date: Tue Feb 28 2017 - 13:59:15 EST


From: Hari Vyas <hariv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.

Fixes: 4e209001b86 ("bgmac: write mac address to hardware in ndo_set_mac_address")
