From b86cd700edd3bfe27f631649727b7796067bb3fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiner Kallweit Date: Mon, 4 May 2020 19:27:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: add helper eth_hw_addr_crc Several drivers use the same code as basis for filter hashes. Therefore let's factor it out to a helper. This way drivers don't have to access struct netdev_hw_addr internals. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit Signed-off-by: David S.
