Merge branch 'addr_assign_type'
Bjørn Mork says:
====================
net: set addr_assign_type when inheriting a dev_addr
Copying the dev_addr from a parent device is an operation
common to a number of drivers. The addr_assign_type should
be updated accordingly, either by reusing the value from
the source device or explicitly indicating that the address
is stolen by setting addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_STOLEN.
This patch set adds a helper copying both the dev_addr and
the addr_assign_type, and use this helper in drivers which
don't currently set the addr_assign_type. Using NET_ADDR_STOLEN
might be more appropriate in some of these cases. Please
let me know, and I'll update the patch accordingly.
Changes in v2:
- assuming addr_len == ETH_ALEN to allow optimized memcpy
- dropped the vt6656 patch due to addr_len being unset in that driver
