    [ISDN]: Do not validate ISDN net device address prior to interface-up

    Commit bada339 (Validate device addr prior to interface-up) caused a regression
    in the ISDN network code, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9923
    The trivial fix is to remove the pointer to eth_validate_addr() in the
    net_device struct in isdn_net_init().
