Hi,

I only recently browsed through the code, and had some queries regarding
the changes introduced by this commit.

When eth_mac_addr() fails, from what I can see, it returns either -EBUSY, or
-EADDRNOTAVAIL.
Wouldn't it be a better idea to set a random MAC address instead, when
-EADDRNOTAVAIL is returned, so that the interface still comes up and is
usable?

I'm only asking because this feels similar to the discussion that can be found here.

There's a chance that aqc111_write_cmd() can end up writing only a
part of the required amount of data too.
Wouldn't it be a better idea to enforce a sanity check here, and set a
random mac address instead if this write fails?

If any of these changes sound like a good idea, I'd be happy to write a
patch implementing them. :)

Thanks,
