Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] bonding: struct bonding cleanup and MAC set fixes

Hello,
This patchset removes some unnecessary struct bonding members. It also
fixes MAC setting inconsistencies (i.e. if a bond's MAC is set after
creation but prior to enslaving, it is lost and the first slave's MAC is
cloned again). Before these patches the only way to keep a user-defined MAC
is either to set it after enslaving or to create the bond with that MAC.
Patch 01 - removes setup_by_slave member
Patch 02 - removes dev_addr_from_first member and does the MAC fixing
Patch 03 - introduces the use of NET_ADDR_STOLEN when a MAC is cloned

Best regards,
 Nikolay Aleksandrov

  bonding: remove unnecessary setup_by_slave member
  bonding: remove unnecessary dev_addr_from_first member
  bonding: when cloning a MAC use NET_ADDR_STOLEN
