Mario Limonciello says: ==================== r8152: Support runtime changes of vendor mac passthu policy On some platforms ACPI method `\\_SB.AMAC` is dynamic and changes to it can influence changing the behavior of MAC pass through and what MAC address is used. When running USB reset, re-read the MAC address to use to support tools that change the policy. This is quite similar to using `SIOCSIFHWADDR` except that the actual MAC to use comes from ASL rather than from userspace. Changes from v1: * Remove an extra unneeded `ether_addr_copy` call * Use `dev_set_mac_address` to ensure all notifiers are called * Shuffle functions to allow code re-use. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
