'cause I just did the ones I noticed around the memcpy/memset
grep pattern I used.

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -n "\b(memset|memcpy)\s*\([^,]+,[^,]+,\s*6\s*\)" drivers/net

You're welcome to look for all the [6] uses and convert the
appropriate ones too.  Maybe use that eth_addr_t typedef.

$ git grep -E "\[\s*6\s*\]\s*;" drivers/net/
