Linux network drivers normally disallow changing the MAC address when the interface is up. This driver has been different in that it allows to change the MAC address *only* when it's up. This patch brings wilc1000 behavior more in line with other network drivers. We could have replaced wilc_set_mac_addr() with eth_mac_addr() but that would break existing documentation on how to change the MAC address. Likewise, return -EADDRNOTAVAIL (not -EINVAL) when the specified MAC address is invalid or unavailable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
