[BRIDGE]: allow setting hardware address of bridge pseudo-dev
Some people are using bridging to hide multiple machines from an ISP that restricts by MAC address. So in that case allow the bridge mac address to be set to any of the existing interfaces. I don't want to allow any arbitrary value and confuse STP. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
