Sometimes the erase operation would timeout, but the new MAC address was
still written:
$ /usr/sbin/rtl8168-eeprom -s 2:0 -m 00:0d:b9:4f:0f:7d
failed: 1
initializing pci access
building filter
starting bus iteration
found matching device (02:00.0), base_addr=0xf7c00000 (len=0)
Existing/Old MAC address: 00:0d:b9:4f:0f:7d
Saving EEPROM backup to 000DB94F0F7D.backup
Writing new MAC address 00:0d:b9:4f:0f:7d...
timeout during ERASE
Error during EEPROM WRITE, MAC address is corrupt!
The latest poky master build is failing with the error below. Let's
include limits.h and see if this is already fixing it.
| rtl8168-eeprom.c: In function 'eeprom_backup':
| rtl8168-eeprom.c:406:13: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)
| char fname[PATH_MAX];
| ^~~~~~~~
When not honoring the environment we end up linking it without the
GNU_HASH for symbol look-up. Put the content into LIBS and place
these options last to make it link.
We still override the CFLAGS but that seems to not cause issues yet
Fixes:
ERROR: ... No GNU_HASH in the elf binary: 'rtl8168-eeprom' [ldflags]
