Commit 2f710a3a authored by Jeremy Linton's avatar Jeremy Linton Committed by David S. Miller

device property: Add ETH_ALEN check, update comments.

This patch adds MAC address length check back into
the device_get_mac_addr() function before calling
is_valid_ether_addr() similar to the way the OF
routine does it.

Update the comments for the two new functions.
