Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Hook into usbnet_change_mtu respecting usbnet
driver_info

Change the way cdc_ncm_change_mtu hooks into the netdev_ops
structure so that changes into usbnet driver_info operations
can be respected. Without this, is was not possible to hook
into usbnet_set_rx_mode.

Hi,

what is wrong with the existing hook?

static void __handle_set_rx_mode(struct usbnet *dev)
{
        if (dev->driver_info->set_rx_mode)
                (dev->driver_info->set_rx_mode)(dev);

        clear_bit(EVENT_SET_RX_MODE, &dev->flags);
}

If you cannot use it, I would prefer you to actually fix that.

	Regards
		Oliver

There is nothing wrong with it, but there was no way cdc_ncm driver
could use it, as it currently overwrites the struct net_device_ops, so
the usbnet function set_rx_mode was not ever getting called.

This patch restores the right behavior, so that usbnet's set _rx_mode
gets called again for cdn_ncm devices. The second patch (the one with
the wrong subject) hooks into set_rx_mode to accept multicast traffic
when asked to do so.

Regards.
