[PATCH] ibmveth: Fix more little endian issues

Anton Blanchard anton at samba.org
Tue Dec 24 12:55:29 EST 2013


The hypervisor expects MAC addresses passed in registers to be big
endian u64. Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr
which does the right thing in both big and little endian.

We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter.
It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the
driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.

v2: annotate with __be64 as suggested by Joe
