I have come across the following checkpatch.pl warning a number of times:
WARNING: Prefer ether_addr_equal() or ether_addr_equal_unaligned() over memcmp ()
What exactly does it mean? What is the fix for this warning? Any help or links to appropriate Documentation will be good.
If you don't know what this is, or how network drivers work, I strongly recommend not worrying about this at all, it's a tricky thing to get right, and something that I need a _lot_ of proof before I ever accept patches that do this. I suggest working on something else. best of luck, greg k-h
