wifi: wilc1000: read MAC address from fuse at probe
The default netdev interface exposed by WILC1000 is registered at probe, but the chip mac address is not known until ndo_open, which will load and start chip firmware and then retrieve stored MAC address from it. As a consequence, the interface has uninitialized value (00:00:00:00:00) until a user brings up the interface. Fix MAC address at probe by setting the following steps: - at probe, read MAC address directly from fuse - whenever a new netdevice is created, apply saved mac address (which can be a user-provided address, or the eFuse Mac address if no address has been passed by user) - whenever an interface is brought up for the first time (and so the firmware is loaded and started), enforce netdevice mac address to the chip (in case user has changed it) Reported-by: Heiko Thiery <heiko.thiery@gmail.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAEyMn7aV-B4OEhHR4Ad0LM3sKCz1-nDqSb9uZNmRWR-hMZ=z+A@mail.gmail.com/T/Signed-off-by: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat@microchip.com> Co-developed-by: Alexis Lothoré <alexis.lothore@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: Alexis Lothoré <alexis.lothore@bootlin.com> Tested-by: Heiko Thiery <heiko.thiery@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@kernel.org> Link: https://msgid.link/20240514-mac_addr_at_probe-v2-6-afef09f1cd10@bootlin.com
