Subject: atm: [br2684] allow routed mode operation again
From: chas williams - CONTRACTOR <c...@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>
commit 2e302ebfeac04beb5a5d6af1ac583c6a1fb76d1a upstream.
in routed mode, we don't have a hardware address so netdev_ops doesnt
need to validate our hardware address via .ndo_validate_addr
