+Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: usbnet: restore usb%d name exception for local mac addresses
+Message-Id: <20241203130457.904325-1-asmadeus () codewreck ! org>
+X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=173323431631309
+
+From: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@atmark-techno.com>
+
+The previous commit assumed that local addresses always came from the
+kernel, but some devices hand out local mac addresses so we ended up
+with point-to-point devices with a mac set by the driver, renaming to
+eth%d when they used to be named usb%d.
+
+Userspace should not rely on device name, but for the sake of stability
+restore the local mac address check portion of the naming exception:
+point to point devices which either have no mac set by the driver or
+have a local mac handed out by the driver will keep the usb%d name.
+
+Fixes: 8a7d12d674ac ("net: usb: usbnet: fix name regression")
