From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 06:18:44 +0000 (+0000) Subject: etherdevice: introduce eth_broadcast_addr X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ad7eee98bef92481581060801bdfd1b25a6106c0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git etherdevice: introduce eth_broadcast_addr A lot of code has either the memset or an inefficient copy from a static array that contains the all-ones broadcast address. Introduce eth_broadcast_addr() to fill an address with all ones, making the code clearer and allowing us to get rid of some constant arrays. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.
