Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: rtl8150: don't incorrectly assign random MAC addresses
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2020 12:14:59 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201010064459.6563-1-anant.thazhemadam@gmail.com> (raw)

get_registers() directly returns the return value of
usb_control_msg_recv() - 0 if successful, and negative error number 
otherwise.
However, in set_ethernet_addr(), this return value is incorrectly 
checked.

Since this return value will never be equal to sizeof(node_id), a 
random MAC address will always be generated and assigned to the 
device; even in cases when get_registers() is successful.

Correctly modifying the condition that checks if get_registers() was 
successful or not fixes this problem, and copies the ethernet address
appropriately.

Fixes: f45a4248ea4c ("set random MAC address when set_ethernet_addr() fails")
