[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 5/6] net: usb: pegasus: Proper error handing when setting pegasus' MAC address

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Oct 12 2020 - 15:04:44 EST


From: Petko Manolov <petko.manolov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f30e25a9d1b25ac8d40071c4dc2679ad0fcdc55a ]

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.
