Research direction

Start with the cmdline.txt parameters shown and the g_ether USB gadget behavior on kernel 4.9.37. Reproduce the configuration and trace how dev_addr and host_addr are applied; done when the host sees the requested 8e:7a:7e:37:6f:aa address instead of a random one.

Description

Close within 30 days

i have the below in my cmdline.txt file
modules-load=dwc2,g_ether g_ether.dev_addr=8e:7a:7e:37:6f:bb g_ether.host_addr=8e:7a:7e:37:6f:aa

the problem is it applies the dev_addr mac id to usb0 but the host_addr doesnt apply at all so the PC sees a random mac id always.

im on the latest kernel 4.9.37
