net: virtio: use eth_hw_addr_set()
Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all the writes to it go through appropriate helpers. Even though the current code uses dev->addr_len the we can switch to eth_hw_addr_set() instead of dev_addr_set(). The netdev is always allocated by alloc_etherdev_mq() and there are at least two places which assume Ethernet address: - the line below calling eth_hw_addr_random() - virtnet_set_mac_address() -> eth_commit_mac_addr_change() Acked-by: Michael S.
