====================
Use netdev->dev_addr write helpers (part 1)
Commit 406f42fa0d ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.
This is the first installment of predictably tedious conversion.
It tackles:
memcpy(netdev->dev_addr, something, ETH_ADDR)
and
ether_addr_copy(netdev->dev_addr, something)
replacing both with eth_hw_addr_set().
The first 7 patches are done entirely by sparse.
Next 4 were semi-manual because the sparse conversion
resulted in errors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
