    net: usb: ax88179_178a: non necessary second random mac address · 7c7be683
    Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez authored
    If the mac address can not be read from the device registers or the
    devicetree, a random address is generated, but this was already done from
    usbnet_probe, so it is not necessary to call eth_hw_addr_random from here
    again to generate another random address.
    
    Indeed, when reset was also executed from bind, generate another random mac
    address invalidated the check from usbnet_probe to configure if the assigned
    mac address for the interface was random or not, because it is comparing
    with the initial generated random address. Now, with only a reset from open
    operation, it is just a harmless simplification.
