If the new slave don't support setting the MAC address, there are
two ways to handle this situation:

1). If the new slave is the first slave, set bond to the new slave's
    MAC address, if the mode is active-backup, set fail_over_mac to
    active, otherwise set fail_over_mac to none.
2). If the new slave is not the first slave and the fail_over_mac is
    active, it means that the slave could work normally in active-backup
    mode, otherwise if the fail_over_mac is none, the slave could not
    work normally for no active-backup mode, so bond could not ensalve
    the new dev.

At least make the warnings consistent: "... for no active-backup mode.\n".
Also you might consider switching to pr_warn.

	This should be "if the mode is active-backup, set fail_over_mac
to active, otherwise do not change fail_over_mac."  Setting to none here
would undo any setting of fail_over_mac that the user had set prior to
adding the first slave.

	This (#2) is not a code change, correct?  You're just restating
the existing behavior of the code, right?

	Also, I don't see where this patch set updates the slave removal
processing where the slave's original MAC is restored.  At present, this
is done by a test against fail_over_mac, but should be tested against
the mode and fail_over_mac.

	My comment to the prior version of this patchset, again:

	The correct way to fix this in general is to permit setting an
option at any time, but only have it take effect in active-backup mode.
This minimizes ordering requirements when setting options.

	I would instead modify the bond enslave and removal processing
to check the mode in addition to fail_over_mac when setting a slave's
MAC during enslavement.  The change active slave processing already only
calls the fail_over_mac function when in active-backup mode.  This
should also be a simpler change set.

	These comments still apply to this version of the patchset.

I thought about this question for a long time, I still can not think clearly.
ex: the first slave did not support setting MAC, and mode is RR, fail_over_mac=1(user set it
    when load the driver), so the after the enslavement, the fail_over_mac is still 1,
    then the second slave added, if the second slave did not support setting MAC, it will pass
    the check and go ahead, until the dev_set_mac_address(), and return error, so
    I think set it to none may cause the second slave return early, but no substance logic change.
    I will modify this place as your opinion.
