[PATCH V7 net-next 11/11] net: add ndo_validate_addr check in dev_set_mac_address

From: Jijie Shao
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 10:40:09 EST


If driver implements ndo_validate_addr,
core should check the mac address before ndo_set_mac_address.

ChangeLog:
v2 -> v3:
- Use ndo_validate_addr() instead of is_valid_ether_addr()
in dev_set_mac_address(), suggested by Jakub and Andrew.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240820140154.137876-1-shaojijie@xxxxxxxxxx/
