From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2013 22:54:38 +0000 (-0800) Subject: ether_addr_equal: Optimize implementation, remove unused compare_ether_addr X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d74c42f788caf3cad727c61c490d9459bc8918b;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git ether_addr_equal: Optimize implementation, remove unused compare_ether_addr Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very slightly improve function performance. Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation. Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now used only once. Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function. Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses could occur with ether_addr_equal.
