Output from checkpatch is not gospel and can be ignored whenever appropriate. I think the below is ok: if ((is_broadcast_ether_addr(mac) || is_zero_ether_addr(mac)) && ((addr = of_get_property(np, "local-mac-address", &len)) && len == ETH_ALEN)) memcpy(mac_addr, addr, ETH_ALEN); else memcpy(mac_addr, ""\x00\xe0\x4c\x87\x00\x00", ETH_ALEN); Although the last memcpy of a fixed mac address could probably use eth_random_addr to reduce the likelihood of mac address collision so maybe if ((is_broadcast_ether_addr(mac) || is_zero_ether_addr(mac)) && ((addr = of_get_property(np, "local-mac-address", &len)) && len == ETH_ALEN)) memcpy(mac_addr, addr, ETH_ALEN); else eth_random_addr(mac_addr); > If yes, I'm not sure how to proceed as these are the very first patches I send. > Should I send a v2 patch with both changes or just a v2 with "np" removed and > another one for adding 'is_broadcast_ether_addr' and 'is_zero_ether_addr' checks? I'd send 1 patch. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
