From 94c84ee61478ff19411fb684d42e3c4f84ae7e88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Bither Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:44:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: use compare_ether_addr on MAC addresses instead of memcmp Following Felix's recent patchset as an example I have replaced memcmp with compare_ether_addr. "Because of the constant size and guaranteed 16 bit alignment, the inline compare_ether_addr function is much cheaper than calling memcmp." Signed-off-by: Jonathan Bither Signed-off-by: John W.
