    s390/qeth: remove unused fallback in Layer3's MAC code · 9168f5ae
    Julian Wiedmann authored
    If the CREATE ADDR sent by qeth_l3_iqd_read_initial_mac() fails, its
    callback sets a random MAC address on the net_device. The error then
    propagates back, and qeth_l3_setup_netdev() bails out without
    registering the net_device.
    
    Any subsequent call to qeth_l3_setup_netdev() will then attempt a fresh
    CREATE ADDR which either 1) also fails, or 2) sets a proper MAC address
    on the net_device. Consequently, the net_device will never be registered
    with a random MAC and we can drop the fallback code.
