commit 890d5b40908bfd1a79be018d2d297cf9df60f4ee upstream.
When listening for notifications through netlink of a new interface being registered, sporadically, it is possible for the MAC to be read as zero. The zero MAC address lasts a short period of time and then switches to a valid random MAC address.
This causes problems for netd in Android, which assumes that the interface is malfunctioning and will not use it.
In the good case we get this log: InterfaceController::getCfg() ifName usb0 hwAddr 92:a8:f0:73:79:5b ipv4Addr 0.0.0.0 flags 0x1002
In the error case we get these logs: InterfaceController::getCfg() ifName usb0 hwAddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 ipv4Addr 0.0.0.0 flags 0x1002
netd : interfaceGetCfg("usb0") netd : interfaceSetCfg() -> ServiceSpecificException (99, "[Cannot assign requested address] : ioctl() failed")
The reason for the issue is the order in which the interface is setup, it is first registered through register_netdev() and after the MAC address is set.
Fixed by first setting the MAC address of the net_device and after that calling register_netdev().
