[PATCH] net: stmmac: remove ptpaddr/mmcaddr/estaddr "safe" initialization

From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-08-03 14:17:31
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, stmmac ethernet driver, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Maxime Chevallier, Linus Torvalds

These so called "safe" initializations aren't needed any more from
sometime, but the unnecessaries are obvious after recent clean up
by Russell. The code will correctly initialize them after getting
the correct stmmac_hwif_entry by calling stmmac_hwif_find().
