[ 19/38] net: correct check in dev_addr_del()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 22 2012 - 17:13:00 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a652208e0b52c190e57f2a075ffb5e897fe31c3b ]

Check (ha->addr == dev->dev_addr) is always true because dev_addr_init()
sets this. Correct the check to behave properly on addr removal.
