[PATCH] net/ipv4/arp.c: Use the exported hex_asc from lib/hexdump.c instead

[PATCH] net/ipv4/arp.c: Use the exported hex_asc from lib/hexdump.c instead

[Denis Cheng]

Here the local hexbuf is a duplicate of global const char hex_asc from
lib/hexdump.c, except the hex letters' cases:

const char hexbuf[] = "0123456789ABCDEF";

const char hex_asc[] = "0123456789abcdef";

and here to print HW addresses, the hex cases are not significant.

You may want to use the hex_asc_hi, hex_asc_lo helpers to do the
mask/shifts for you.

Good idea, I'll revert, Denis can you generate a new patch?

Thanks.

Here the local hexbuf is a duplicate of global const char hex_asc from
lib/hexdump.c, except the hex letters' cases:

Thanks to Harvey Harrison to introduce the hex_asc_hi/hex_asc_lo helpers.

Applied, thanks.

Harvey I know you posted a nearly identical patch, I had
to choose one and he did credit you with the idea for the
updated patch, so I hope this is OK.

Thanks.

His had the better changelog, I just sent mine to make my point clear
what the patch could look like.

No problems here.
