From 7c7be68346b9e30e343526bfac939efadc183e96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2024 10:24:31 +0200 Subject: net: usb: ax88179_178a: non necessary second random mac address If the mac address can not be read from the device registers or the devicetree, a random address is generated, but this was already done from usbnet_probe, so it is not necessary to call eth_hw_addr_random from here again to generate another random address. Indeed, when reset was also executed from bind, generate another random mac address invalidated the check from usbnet_probe to configure if the assigned mac address for the interface was random or not, because it is comparing with the initial generated random address. Now, with only a reset from open operation, it is just a harmless simplification. Signed-off-by: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez Signed-off-by: David S.
