    mac802154: fix wpan mac setting while lowpan is there · 09095fdc
    Alexander Aring authored
    If we currently change the mac address inside the wpan interface while
    we have a lowpan interface on top of the wpan interface, the mac address
    setting doesn't reach the lowpan interface. The effect would be that the
    IPv6 lowpan interface has the old SLAAC address and isn't working
    anymore because the lowpan interface use in internal mechanism sometimes
    dev->addr which is the old mac address of the wpan interface.
    
    This patch checks if a wpan interface belongs to lowpan interface, if
    yes then we need to check if the lowpan interface is down and change the
    mac address also at the lowpan interface. When the lowpan interface will
    be set up afterwards, it will use the correct SLAAC address which based
    on the updated mac address setting.
