Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: add helper eth_hw_addr_crc

Several drivers use the same code as basis for filter hashes. Therefore
let's factor it out to a helper. This way drivers don't have to access
struct netdev_hw_addr internals.

First user is r8169.

Heiner Kallweit (2):
  net: add helper eth_hw_addr_crc
  r8169: use new helper eth_hw_addr_crc
