Subject: ibmveth: Fix endian issues with MAC addresses
Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 14:51:37 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140305145137.3460dbe7@kryten> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131224125529.58970f1b@kryten>
The code to load a MAC address into a u64 for passing to the
hypervisor via a register is broken on little endian.
Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr
which does the right thing in both big and little endian.
We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter.
It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the
driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.
