[PATCH 3/5] net: fortify eth_platform_get_mac_address()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Wed Jul 18 2018 - 12:10:51 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We'll soon have more sources from which to read the MAC address in this
routine. Make sure the address is correct before returning it.
