Yes, right.  Sorry about that.

It ensures that addr_assign_type is set to the same value as the parent
device the dev_addr is copied from.  The initial reason was that I found
it strange to see NET_ADDR_PERM on a vlan device which had inherited a
random address from its parent.

But I haven't verified whether that the parent device actually can have
an addr_assign_type != NET_ADDR_PERM for every driver included.
