mainlining shenanigans
The vendor driver does upon failing to read a valid MAC address from EEPROM write the netdev's address back to EEPROM and invoking a EEPROM reload operation. Based on this we can implement the ethtool_ops set_eeprom and provide the means to populate the EEPROM from within Linux. It's worth noting that ax88179_get_eeprom() will return some default data unless the content of the EEPROM is deemed "complete", so until the EEPROM is fully populated (e.g. by running ethtool -e | ethtool -E) data written with ax88179_set_eeprom() will appear not to stick. The implementation is based on asix_set_eeprom(), from asix_common.c Signed-off-by: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
