Subject: [PATCH] wimax/i2400m: use is_zero_ether_addr() instead of memcmp()

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@...ndmicro.com.cn>

Using is_zero_ether_addr() instead of directly use
memcmp() to determine if the ethernet address is all
zeros.

spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.
