From 64c8165b44a91c09b19afb4110610ed242286639 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Bitton Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 19:11:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] davinci_emac: fix kernel oops when changing MAC address while interface is down Check that network interface is running before changing its MAC address. Otherwise, rxch is accessed when it's NULL - causing a kernel oops. Moreover, check that the new MAC address is valid.
