staging: vt6655: card.c: replace memcpy() by ether_addr_copy() using coccinelle
This patch focuses on fixing the following warning generated by checkpatch.pl for the file rxtx.c : Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() if the Ethernet addresses are __aligned(2) The changes were applied using the following coccinelle rule: @@ expression e1, e2; @@ - memcpy(e1, e2, ETH_ALEN); + ether_addr_copy(e1, e2); According to ether_addr_copy() description and functionality, all Ethernet addresses should align to the u16 datatype. Here is the output of pahole for the relevant datastructures: struct pmkid_candidate { NDIS_802_11_MAC_ADDRESS BSSID; /* 0 6 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ long unsigned int Flags; /* 8 4 */ /* size: 12, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */ /* sum members: 10, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 12 bytes */ }; Signed-off-by: Aya Mahfouz <mahfouz.saif.elyazal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
