I went through the previous discussion and I have a feeling that Jakub meant to simply call the is_valid_ether_addr() on addr->sa_data before the first ether_addr_copy and then act accordingly based on the validity of user supplied mac addr. And instead of yet another write to adapter->mac_addr that you're introducing you could just move the first ether_addr_copy (if addr->sa_data is valid) onto the if (adapter->state != VNIC_PROBED) condition.

Jakub Kicinski brought up a concern in ibmvnic_set_mac(). ibmvnic_set_mac() does this: ether_addr_copy(adapter->mac_addr, addr->sa_data); if (adapter->state != VNIC_PROBED) rc = __ibmvnic_set_mac(netdev, addr->sa_data); So if state == VNIC_PROBED, the user can assign an invalid address to adapter->mac_addr, and ibmvnic_set_mac() will still return 0. The fix is to add the handling for "adapter->state == VNIC_PROBED" case, which saves the old mac address back to adapter->mac_addr, and returns an error code.
