Otherwise no one can tell you what machines/devices this will trigger on at all. As it is, it's totally vague and unknown what this whole function is here for. > +{ > + acpi_status status; > + struct acpi_buffer buffer = { ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, NULL }; > + union acpi_object *obj; > + int ret = -EINVAL; > + u32 ocp_data; > + unsigned char buf[6]; > + > + ocp_data = ocp_read_word(tp, MCU_TYPE_USB, USB_MISC_0); > + if ((ocp_data & AD_MASK) != 0x1000) > + return -ENODEV; > + > + ocp_data = ocp_read_byte(tp, MCU_TYPE_USB, EFUSE); > + if ((ocp_data & PASS_THRU_MASK) != 1) > + return -ENODEV; > + > + /* returns _AUXMAC_#AABBCCDDEEFF# */ > + status = acpi_evaluate_object(NULL, "\\_SB.AMAC", NULL, &buffer); > + obj = (union acpi_object *)buffer.pointer; > + if (ACPI_SUCCESS(status)) { > + if (obj->type != ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER || > + obj->string.length != 0x17) { > + pr_warn("r8152: get_passthru_addr: Invalid buffer"); > + goto amacout; > + } > + if (strncmp(obj->string.pointer, "_AUXMAC_#", 9) != 0) { > + pr_warn("r8152: get_passthru_addr: Invalid header"); > + goto amacout; > + } > + ret = hex2bin(buf, obj->string.pointer + 9, 6); > + if (ret < 0 || !is_valid_ether_addr(buf)) { > + pr_warn("r8152: get_passthru_addr: Invalid MAC"); > + goto amacout; > + } > + memcpy(sa->sa_data, buf, 6); > + ether_addr_copy(tp->netdev->dev_addr, sa->sa_data); > + netdev_info(tp->netdev, "Using pass-through MAC address %pM\n", > + sa->sa_data); > + ret = 0; > + } > + > +amacout: > + kfree(obj); > + return ret; > +} > + > static int set_ethernet_addr(struct r8152 *tp) > { > struct net_device *dev = tp->netdev; > @@ -1038,8 +1091,11 @@ static int set_ethernet_addr(struct r8152 *tp) > > if (tp->version == RTL_VER_01) > ret = pla_ocp_read(tp, PLA_IDR, 8, sa.sa_data); > - else > - ret = pla_ocp_read(tp, PLA_BACKUP, 8, sa.sa_data); > + else { > + ret = get_passthru_addr(tp, &sa); > + if (ret < 0) an "error" here is a "normal" thing, so please document it. Or again, change the function to be "dell_crazy_hardware_hack_enabled()" so it'b obvious what is going on. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
