Subject: dm9601: handle corrupt mac address
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=20f10aa07d8d4d43ae8e129c39a84e1670b0d5ab;p=linux-beck.git

dm9601: handle corrupt mac address

Some cheap devices ship with dangling EEPROM pins!
They always return invalid address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.

Inherit the auto-generated address in this case,
so that these products can work with zero configuration.
