[PATCH 0/2] checkpatch: new ethernet address manipulation checks

From: Mateusz Kulikowski
Date: Sun Apr 19 2015 - 15:04:32 EST


Add 3 new warnings to checkpatch:
1) PREFER_ETHER_ADDR_EQUAL
Replace memcmp(foo, bar, ETH_ALEN) with ether_addr_equal*()
2) PREFER_ETH_ZERO_ADDR
Replace memset(foo, 0, ETH_ALEN) with eth_zero_addr()
3) PREFER_ETH_BROADCAST_ADDR
Replace memset(foo, 0xFF, ETH_ALEN) with eth_broadcast_addr()

Mateusz Kulikowski (2):
checkpatch: suggest using ether_addr_equal*()
checkpatch: suggest using eth_zero_addr() and eth_broadcast_addr()
