Subject: [net-next PATCH] net/ethernet: remove useless is_valid_ether_addr from drivers ndo_open

If ndo_validate_addr is set in the driver netdev core will call
this validate function before calling ndo_open. So there is no
point in doing this again in driver ndo_open function.

With this change is_valid_ether_addr will be called from the
generic eth_validate_addr function. So there should be no change
in the actual behavior.

Hi,

net/core/dev.c __dev_open does
 1165        if (ops->ndo_validate_addr)
 1166                ret = ops->ndo_validate_addr(dev);
 1167
 1168        if (!ret && ops->ndo_open)
 1169                ret = ops->ndo_open(dev);

so I don't see the need for a is_valid_ether_addr in
ndo_open at all or am I missing something?

ndo_validate_addr is set to eth_validate_addr in all
changed drivers.

regards
Joachim Eastwood
