Hi Vivek,

This doesn't seem right.
As GCC points out, dev_addr is const.
And I don't think eth_random_addr() produces invalid addresses.

Perhaps you want eth_hw_addr_random() here.

As was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, net-next, is closed.
So please post a v2 once it re-opens, after 10th July.
