Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8712: fix Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy()
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2015 00:11:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150129221136.GA22253@mohammed-Inspiron-3537> (raw)
This patch fixes the following checkpatch.pl warning:
Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy()
if the Ethernet addresses are __aligned(2)
pahole showed that the struct used pnetdev->dev_addr
is aligned to u16.
Moreover mac is a simple array, pdata is a pointer that
starts from an even offset.
