Do you want a similar patch/patches for drivers/net? If I break it out by nominal driver/maintainer, it'll be a highish number of low density patches. $ git grep -w compare_ether_addr drivers/net | wc -l 59 $ git grep -w -l compare_ether_addr drivers/net | wc -l 31 Maybe just a single patch? Also the compare_ether_addr_64bits function is still used a couple dozen times. Maybe another patch for those? ether_addr_equal_64bits? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
