[PATCH 0/2] Renesas: read MAC address registers only once

[PATCH 0/2] Renesas: read MAC address registers only once

[Sergei Shtylyov]

Hello.

   Here's 2 patches against DaveM's 'net-next.git' repo. Here we optimize the
MAC address register reading (left over from a bootloader).

[1/2] ravb: read MAC address registers only once
[2/2] sh_eth: read MAC address registers only once

MBR, Sergei

[PATCH 1/2] ravb: read MAC address registers only once

[Sergei Shtylyov]

The code reading the MAHR/MALR registers in ravb_read_mac_address() is
terribly ineffective -- it reads  MAHR 4 times and MALR 2 times, while
it's enough to read each register only once. Use the local variables to
achieve that, somewhat beautifying the code while at it...

Series applied, thanks.
