[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 2/6] [kernel] ath9k: be verbose if platform-supplied hardware MAC is used

[Michal Cieslakiewicz]

From: Michal Cieslakiewicz <michal.cieslakiewicz at wp.pl>

This patch adds information in logs during module startup if
WLAN device MAC address is overwritten by platform-supplied one.

Signed-off-by: Michal Cieslakiewicz <michal.cieslakiewicz at wp.pl>

---

When random MAC address is used instead of invalid one, there is notification
in logs. The same rule should apply if hardware MAC for wifi card is
overriden by platform and that is exactly what this patch does.
