Subject: checkpatch: ignore request to use ether_addr_copy()
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac01603da4598b4b34ff3a5c428aa925daa12b60;p=u-boot.git

checkpatch: ignore request to use ether_addr_copy()

The Linux kernel, from which checkpatch originates, contains function
ether_addr_copy() to copy Ethernet MAC addresses, and checkpatch warns
that it should be used in preference to memcpy() where appropriate.
U-Boot doesn't contain ether_addr_copy(), so tell checkpatch not to issue
this warning.
