Add a boolean function to test 2 ethernet addresses for equality
Convert compare_ether_addr uses to ether_addr_equal

This series looks great, I'll apply all of it.

coccinelle is a nifty, better sed, tool.  Thanks Julia et al.

That case you didn't convert in mac80211 is probably the
bug Johannes was talking about which started this whole
discussion.

Looks like it.

Do you want a similar patch/patches for drivers/net?

If I break it out by nominal driver/maintainer,
it'll be a highish number of low density patches.

$ git grep -w compare_ether_addr drivers/net | wc -l
59
$ git grep -w -l compare_ether_addr drivers/net | wc -l
31

Maybe just a single patch?

Also the compare_ether_addr_64bits function is
still used a couple dozen times.  Maybe another
patch for those?  ether_addr_equal_64bits?
