Subject: [NET]: Add is_multicast_ether_addr() in include/linux/etherdevice.h
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=79165121bc09c209451487d977df910c4ff6fc94;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[NET]: Add is_multicast_ether_addr() in include/linux/etherdevice.h

This patch adds is_multicast_ether_addr() to go along with
is_valid_ether_addr() and friends. It then changes
is_valid_ether_addr() to use the new macro, and fixes up the comment
on that function to move implementation details out of the API doco.
