This is part of an RFC patch series introducing asynchronous platform
data, which may be attached to discovered bus devices at probe time
based on the device path.
As part of the series, platform_data is enabled in usbnet layer.
This patch allows smsc95xx usbnet driver to understand that the MAC
setting was handled by plaform_data sent into usbnet, and that it
does not need to overwrite the already correct MAC with a random one.
