Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 0/3] optimize procedure of changing MAC address on interface

The first patch adds an if statement in core to skip early when
the MAC address is not being changes.
The remaining patches remove such checks from Intel drivers
as they're redundant at this point.

v3: removed "This patch ..." from first patch to simplify sentence.
v2: modified check in core to support addresses of any length,
removed redundant checks in i40e and ice

Piotr Gardocki (3):
  net: add check for current MAC address in dev_set_mac_address
  i40e: remove unnecessary check for old MAC == new MAC
  ice: remove unnecessary check for old MAC == new MAC
