Most of these changes are not useful.

Style nits if 80 columns are _really_ desired.

This is harder to read.

More common would be

	unsigned char bcast_addr[ETH_ALEN] = {
		0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff
	};

Better still would be to use static const.
Best would be to see if bcast_addr is needed at all.
