[PATCH 2/11] ath5k: use ether_addr_equal_64bits

Julia Lawall
2013-12-30T17:19:05Z

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>

Ether_addr_equal_64bits is more efficient than ether_addr_equal, and can be
used when each argument is an array within a structure that contains at
least two bytes of data beyond the array.

The structures involved are:
ieee80211_mgmt defined in include/linux/ieee80211.h and
ath_common defined in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.h

This was done using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>
