Universally administered and locally administered addresses are
distinguished by setting the second-least-significant bit of the first
octet of the address. Having a function to check and set this U/L bit
from a function makes it nice for boards that want to generate their own
mac address to ensure they are locally administered.
Unicast and multicast addresses are distinguised by setting the
least-significant bit of the first octet of the address. Having a
function to check and set this U/M bit from a function it nice to
make a generated mac address a unicast address.
This patch introduces both these helper functions
