Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/11] ipv6: fix type mismatch warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Building with 'make W=2' shows a warning for every time this header
gets included because of a pointer type mismatch:

net/addrconf.h:163:32: warning: passing 'unsigned char *' to parameter of type 'const char *' converts between pointers to integer
types with different sign [-Wpointer-sign]
        addrconf_addr_eui48_base(eui, dev->dev_addr);

Change the type to unsigned according to the input argument.

Fixes: 4d6f28591fe4 ("{net,IB}/{rxe,usnic}: Utilize generic mac to eui32 function")
