Thanks, I've fixed this as follows and pushed to net-next:

--------------------
mac89x0: Fix build error.

Need to use the new 'saddr' variable not the void 'addr' in
set_mac_address().

Thanks for the fix!

Thanks, that fixed the build.

What about the is_valid_ether_addr() check?

If you mean the discussion about checking if the MAC is valid in
.ndo_set_mac_address, I'm on that issue and will hopefully send a patch soon.
