Is it ok if I do following steps for v3: - Align eth addresses that can be aligned (at least one structure - rtllib_rxb can't be aligned) - Apply eth_addr_copy where possible - Discuss and try to submit ether_addr_copy_unaligned on netdev list - If they reject the change - rename macro to something less confusing (rtllib_something) Regards and thanks for reviews, Mateusz _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
