From 597305fd770870fbfd12ed981b095e073ae1aafe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2021 07:24:31 -0700 Subject: ethernet: constify references to netdev->dev_addr in drivers [ Upstream commit 766607570becbd26cab6d66a544dd8d0d964df5a ] This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and function arguments which may refer to netdev->dev_addr. Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("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. Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing. It seems like it's still better to add the const in case the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled for the build. No functional changes.
