From 4c751e9d1fdd725feaa8d83e5680dbec3f1f7178 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duan Jiong Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2012 16:32:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] etherdevice: introduce help function eth_zero_addr() commit 6d57e9078e880a3dd232d579f42ac437a8f1ef7b upstream. a lot of code has either the memset or an inefficient copy from a static array that contains the all-zeros Ethernet address. Introduce help function eth_zero_addr() to fill an address with all zeros, making the code clearer and allowing us to get rid of some constant arrays.
