Merge branch 'hw_addr_set'
Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== Use netdev->dev_addr write helpers (part 1) Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all the writes to it got through appropriate helpers. This is the first installment of predictably tedious conversion. It tackles: memcpy(netdev->dev_addr, something, ETH_ADDR) and ether_addr_copy(netdev->dev_addr, something) replacing both with eth_hw_addr_set(). The first 7 patches are done entirely by sparse. Next 4 were semi-manual because the sparse conversion resulted in errors. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
