How about:

static int eth_validate_addr(const struct net_device *dev)
{
	return is_valid_ether_addr(dev->dev_addr) ? 0 : -EINVAL;
}

hmmm -- its a slow path, so I don't see the value of marking the argument 'const' -- right now this implementation merely reads the dev->dev_addr[], but that need not always be the case.

And I don't see the value of squashing everything onto one line, IMO the current version is more readable.
