Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: 3com: fix warning for incorrect type in
 argument

The commit c466a9b2b329f7d9982c14eedc83a923d3bc711c
(net: 3com: slight optimization of addr compare)
cause a warning: "passing argument 1 of 'ether_addr_equal'
from incompatible pointer type", so fix it.

I think julia will convert ether_addr_equal to ether_addr_equal_64bits later.
