From 273941c85fc2632cd3e56ddff737b9245de7697d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Fainelli Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 15:00:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: bcmgenet: validate Ethernet address in bcmgenet_set_mac_addr bcmgenet_set_mac_addr() did not check whether the provided MAC address is a valid Ethernet address before applying it. Userspace could configure an invalid address (such as all zeroes or a multicast address) while the interface is down. Add a call to is_valid_ether_addr() and return -EADDRNOTAVAIL if the MAC address is not valid.
