[PATCH v2 1/3] net: fortify eth_platform_get_mac_address()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-19 08:20:38
Also in: linux-omap, lkml, netdev
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted>

We'll soon have more sources from which to read the MAC address in this
routine. Make sure the address is correct before returning it.
