Here we already know that the variable is "serial#", so it cannot be any of the "eth*addr" variables. > + if (strcmp (name, "ethaddr") == 0) > #if defined(CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE) && defined(CONFIG_ETHADDR) > - && (strcmp ((char > *)env_get_addr(oldval),MK_STR(CONFIG_ETHADDR)) != 0) > + /* Allow "ethaddr" overwrite to change pre-configured > address */ > + if (strcmp ((char > *)env_get_addr(oldval),MK_STR(CONFIG_ETHADDR)) != 0) > #endif /* CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE && CONFIG_ETHADDR */ > - ) ) { > + protected = 1; > + > + /* "eth[0-9]+addr" is always protected */ > + if (strncmp (name, "eth", 3) == 0) { > + ethnum = simple_strtoul (name+3, &s, 10); > + if (s != name + 3) > + if (strcmp (s, "addr") == 0) > + protected = 1; > + } Then why do we continue to test for these impossible cases? It's just wasting CPU cycles.
