There's no reason why l2_set_mac_address() should ever be called for a netdevice that's not owned by qeth. It's certainly not required for VLAN devices, which have their own netdev_ops. Also: 1) we don't do such validation for any of the other netdev_ops routines. 2) the code in question clearly has never been actually exercised; it's broken. After determining that the device is not owned by qeth, it would still use dev->ml_priv to write a qeth trace entry. Remove the check, and its helper that walked the global card list.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
