Subject: [PATCH] staging/ozwpan: Fix zero address check in oz_set_active_pd


gcc 4.8 warns about the incorrect memcmp size. I think it's supposed to
be an ethernet address, so should be always 6 bytes.

The code was wrong, would either compare 4 or 8 bytes (32bit vs 64bit)

/backup/lsrc/git/linux-lto-2.6/drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozcdev.c: In function 'oz_set_active_pd':
/backup/lsrc/git/linux-lto-2.6/drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozcdev.c:216:43: warning: argument to 'sizeof' in 'memcmp' call is the same expression as the destination; did you mean to provide an explicit length? [-Wsizeof-pointer-memaccess]
   if (!memcmp(addr, "\0\0\0\0\0\0", sizeof(addr))) {
                                           ^
