Cover letter [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
