From 4e195166624851d1da1a4e42110e66ee4faca4a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corinna Vinschen Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2023 21:29:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] stmmac: fix changing mac address Without the IFF_LIVE_ADDR_CHANGE flag being set, the network code disallows changing the mac address while the interface is UP. Consequences are, for instance, that the interface can't be used in a failover bond. Add the missing flag to net_device priv_flags. Tested on Intel Elkhart Lake with default settings, as well as with failover and alb mode bonds. Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen Signed-off-by: David S.
