If VF is slaved to synthetic device, then any change to netvsc MAC address should be propagated to the slave device. If slave device doesn't support MAC address change then it should also be an error to attempt to change synthetic NIC MAC address. It also fixes the error unwind in the original code. If give a bad address, the old code would change the device MAC address anyway.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
