In case there is no valid MAC address kernel generates random one. This patch propagate this generated MAC address back to NVS data which will be uploaded to wl1251 chip. So HW would have same MAC address as linux kernel uses. Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <redacted>Why? What issue does this fix?
Send permanent MAC address to wl1251 chip, same what is doing wl12xx driver. -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@gmail.com
