Use dev_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr() to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM.
Reset the state to NET_ADDR_PERM as soon as the MAC get changed via .ndo_set_mac_address.

Why not something like
dev->addr_assign_type &= ~NET_ADDR_RANDOM;
? It is a relative common way inside the kernel to do this kind of stuff.
Thanks, Sven
PS: For the batman-adv people. This functionality was introduced with 2.6.36.

Applied (with minor modification) in revision 910ccac.
