commit 455f3e76cfc0d893585a5f358b9ddbe9c1e1e53b upstream. The firmware has a requirement that the P2P_DEVICE address should be different from the address of the primary interface. When not specified by user-space, the driver generates the MAC address for the P2P_DEVICE interface using the MAC address of the primary interface and setting the locally administered bit. However, the MAC address of the primary interface may already have that bit set causing the creation of the P2P_DEVICE interface to fail with -EBUSY. Fix this by using a random address instead to determine the P2P_DEVICE address.

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.
