From 1635520aefc1056604ad60d042a64f43898c7108 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Fink Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2019 15:00:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: ax88179_178a: write mac to hardware in get_mac_addr When the MAC address is supplied via device tree or a random MAC is generated it has to be written to the asix chip in order to receive any data. Previously in 9fb137aef34e ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: allow optionally getting mac address from device tree") this line was omitted because it seemed to work perfectly fine without it. But it was simply not detected because the chip keeps the mac stored even beyond a reset and it was tested on a hardware with an integrated UPS where the asix chip was permanently powered on even throughout power cycles.
