Your patch is actually a functional change.

Geeze, whatamess.


This duplicated field was added by

: commit 8bb95b39a16ed55226810596f92216c53329d2fe

:    uml: convert network device to netdevice ops

Either Stephen fat-fingered it, or it was a secret, unchangelogged (and
partial) cleanup.

Presumably the spin_lock_irq(&lp->lock); stuff is in uml_net_set_mac()
for a reason so presumably we should restore it.


- Use the standard eth_mac_addr() in uml_net_set_mac()

- Remove unneeded and racy local set_ether_mac()

- Remove duplicated (and incorrect)
  uml_netdev_ops.ndo_set_mac_address initializer.

Fixes 8bb95b39a16ed55226810596f92216c53329d2fe ("uml: convert network
device to netdevice ops").
