Petko Manolov f30e25a9d1 net: usb: pegasus: Proper error handing when setting pegasus' MAC address
v2:

If reading the MAC address from eeprom fail don't throw an error, use randomly
generated MAC instead.  Either way the adapter will soldier on and the return
type of set_ethernet_addr() can be reverted to void.

v1:

Fix a bug in set_ethernet_addr() which does not take into account possible
errors (or partial reads) returned by its helpers.  This can potentially lead to
writing random data into device's MAC address registers.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
