From 51e7eed79c41180919ff94942895ba38467d9ad4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Klauser Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:14:56 +0000 Subject: etherdevice.h: Add is_unicast_ether_addr function From a check for !is_multicast_ether_addr it is not always obvious that we're checking for a unicast address. So add this helper function to make those code paths easier to read. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Acked-by: Chris Metcalf Signed-off-by: David S.
