Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: fix bond dev flags after convert to arphrd_ether

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>

If a bonding device enslaves devices != arphrd_ether it'll change types
and if later these devices are released, it can enslave an arphrd_ether
device and switch back calling ether_setup() which resets dev->flags to
IFF_BROADCAST|IFF_MULTICAST and clears IFF_MASTER which then could lead
to many different bugs. This bug seems to have been there since the
introduction of ether_setup() in bond_enslave().
