From: Johannes Berg <redacted> A lot of code has either the memset or an inefficient copy from a static array that contains the all-ones broadcast address. Introduce broadcast_ether_addr() to fill an address with all ones, making the code clearer and allowing us to get rid of the various constant arrays. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <redacted>
I would prefer if this were named "eth_something()", thanks.
