6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Oliver Neukum oneukum@suse.com
[ Upstream commit bab8eb0dd4cb995caa4a0529d5655531c2ec5e8e ]
The driver generates a random MAC once on load and uses it over and over, including on two devices needing a random MAC at the same time.
Jakub suggested revamping the driver to the modern API for setting a random MAC rather than fixing the old stuff.
The bug is as old as the driver.
