Since the slave unicast address is synced to hardware and to the DSA master during dsa_slave_open(), this means that a call to dsa_slave_set_mac_address() while the slave interface is down will result to a call to dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_del() and to dev_uc_del() for the MAC address while there was no previous dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_add() or dev_uc_add(). This is a partial revert of the blamed commit below, which was too aggressive.

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.
