Always order local variable declarations from longest to shortest line,
also know as Reverse Christmas Tree Format.

Please audit your entire submission for this problem, it occurs
everywhere.

Why?  By clearing this, you disallow an important fundamental way to do
performane testing, via pktgen.

This is a memcpy() on well-typed datastructures which requires no
casting or special handling whatsoever, so use memcpy instead of
needlessly open coding the operation.

MTU restrictions are handled in the net-next tree via net_dev->min_mtu and
net_dev->max_mtu.  Use that and do not define this NDO operation as you do
not need it.

Do not define unnecessary NDO operations, let the defaults do their job.

Unless you can show that your need this, do not "guess" by implement this
NDO operation.  You don't need it.

Do not play network device naming games like this, use the standard name
assignment done by the kernel and have userspace entities do geographic or
device type specific naming.

I want to see this code completely removed.

You MUST NOT return an error at this point without rewinding the state change
performed by eth_mac_addr().  Otherwise device will be left in an inconsistent
state compared to what the software MAC address has recorded.

This driver is enormous, I don't have the time nor the patience to
review it further for what seems to be many fundamental errors like
the ones I have pointed out so far.

Sorry.
