From d05a9ed5c3a7739b7ece9ea81617c6fc74de10f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Hancock Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2019 16:28:18 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] net: axienet: Make missing MAC address non-fatal Failing initialization on a missing MAC address property is excessive. We can just fall back to using a random MAC instead, which at least leaves the interface in a functioning state. Signed-off-by: Robert Hancock Signed-off-by: David S.
