Variable dev_addr is done const intentionally in v5.17 to prevent using
it directly. See kernel series [1] for more information.
`dev_addr` is done const in v5.17,
but patch checks >= v5.15 because used helpers introduced in v5.15,
should this be clarified to not confuse users? No strong opinion from me.

Can you add Linux kernel commit log, instead of the mail list archive?
This helps to check the relevant code change in kernel easier, and
verify in which versions it exists etc..
I think mentioned commit is following
Commit adeef3e32146 ("net: constify netdev->dev_addr")
Fixes: ea6b39b5b847 ("kni: remove ethtool support")
