From c867b55eb4831a493631205f2744b2e77ce0983b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joachim Eastwood Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 04:47:15 +0000 Subject: net/ethernet: remove useless is_valid_ether_addr from drivers ndo_open If ndo_validate_addr is set to the generic eth_validate_addr function there is no point in calling is_valid_ether_addr from driver ndo_open if ndo_open is not used elsewhere in the driver. With this change is_valid_ether_addr will be called from the generic eth_validate_addr function. So there should be no change in the actual behavior.
