-Subject: [PATCH] net: bgmac-bcma: handle deferred probe error due to
- mac-address
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-Due to the inclusion of nvmem handling into the mac-address getter
-function of_get_mac_address() by
-commit d01f449c008a ("of_net: add NVMEM support to of_get_mac_address")
-it is now possible to get a -EPROBE_DEFER return code. Which did cause
-bgmac to assign a random ethernet address.
-
-This exact issue happened on my Meraki MR32. The nvmem provider is
-an EEPROM (at24c64) which gets instantiated once the module
-driver is loaded... This happens once the filesystem becomes available.
-
-With this patch, bgmac_probe() will propagate the -EPROBE_DEFER error.
-Then the driver subsystem will reschedule the probe at a later time.
