From 195b2919ccd7ffcaf6b6bbcb39444a53ab8308c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Blumenstingl Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2019 21:21:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: manage errors returned by of_get_mac_address() Commit d01f449c008a ("of_net: add NVMEM support to of_get_mac_address") added support for reading the MAC address from an nvmem-cell. This required changing the logic to return an error pointer upon failure. If stmmac is loaded before the nvmem provider driver then of_get_mac_address() return an error pointer with -EPROBE_DEFER. Propagate this error so the stmmac driver will be probed again after the nvmem provider driver is loaded. Default to a random generated MAC address in case of any other error, instead of using the error pointer as MAC address.
