From 73eaef87e98a96fe8b8a586f916b2721bf512efa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2013 14:21:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] etherdevice: Add ether_addr_equal_unaligned Add a generic routine to test if possibly unaligned to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal. If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, this uses the slightly faster generic routine ether_addr_equal, otherwise this uses memcmp. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S.
