Please don't shit up the comments:

> -	/* set a random MAC now in case platform_data doesn't provide one */
 ...
> +			/*set a random MAC since no valid provided by platform_data*/

You had to work to make that comment look worse than it originally
did in the code, spaces around the sentence and if you can be so
bothered capitalize sentences and put proper punctionation at the
end.

I took care of this, but I will not next time.
