skfp_ctl_set_mac_address() calls ResetAdapter() unconditionally, without
checking netif_running(). ResetAdapter() first calls card_stop(), which
sets smc->hw.hw_state to STOPPED, and then mac_drv_clear_tx_queue(),
which walks the two transmit queues:
for (i = QUEUE_S; i <= QUEUE_A0; i++) {
queue = smc->hw.fp.tx[i] ;
...
t = queue->tx_curr_get ;
smc->hw.fp.tx[] is only populated by init_tx(), which is reached from
skfp_open() through init_smt() -> init_fddi_driver() -> init_fplus() ->
init_mac() -> init_tx(). The private area is allocated and zeroed by
alloc_fddidev(), so on an interface that has never been brought up both
queue pointers are still NULL. The hw_state test at the top of
mac_drv_clear_tx_queue() does not catch this, because card_stop() has
just set STOPPED; the function proceeds into the loop and dereferences
NULL. ResetAdapter() does call init_smt() itself, but only after the
queues have been cleared.
Setting the MAC address on a down interface therefore oopses:
ip link set dev fddi0 address 02:00:00:00:00:01
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in mac_drv_clear_tx_queue+0x68/0x2c0 [skfp]

Address 0x10 is the offset of tx_curr_get, the third pointer in
struct s_smt_tx_queue, on 64-bit. mac_drv_clear_rx_queue(), which
ResetAdapter() calls immediately afterwards, dereferences
smc->hw.fp.rx[QUEUE_R1] in the same way behind the same ineffective
hw_state test; the transmit queue merely crashes first. Both are
covered by the guard below.
Skip the adapter reset when the interface is down. dev_addr_set() is
left unconditional, so the new address is still recorded in
dev->dev_addr. Nothing is lost by not resetting the adapter here:
skfp_open() deliberately re-reads the factory address on every open,
read_address(smc, NULL);
eth_hw_addr_set(dev, smc->hw.fddi_canon_addr.a);
and the comment above it states this is done to discard exactly such an
address override across a close/open cycle. An address set while the
interface is down could not have survived the following open even
before this change, so the guard removes no working behaviour. Guarding
the hardware side of ndo_set_mac_address() with netif_running() is
established practice; skge_set_mac_address() has done so since commit
