Subject: [PATCH 00/12] Ethernet: Add and use ether_<type>_addr globals

There are many local static and non-static arrays that are used for
Ethernet broadcast address output or comparison.

Centralize the array into a single separate file and remove the local
arrays.

Joe Perches (12):
  ethernet: Add generic ether_<foo>_addr addresses
  treewide/net: Rename eth_stp_addr to ether_stp_addr
  net: mac80211: Use global ether_broadcast_addr
  bridge: netfilter: Use the new global ether_<foo>_addr arrays
  net: atm: Use ether_broadcast_addr
  wireless: Convert simple uses of a static const Ethernet broadcast address
  brcmfmac: Convert ALLFFMAC to ether_broadcast_addr
  iwlegacy: Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(il_bcast_addr) and use ether_broadcast_addr
  iwlwifi: Remove local iwl_bcast_addr and use ether_broadcast_addr
  mvpp2: Use ether_broadcast_addr instead of a local array
  qlogic: Convert local bcast_addr to global ether_broadcast_addr
  ethernet: Use ether_zero_addr instead of local statics
