Use possibly more efficient ether_addr_equal to instead of memcmp.quoted

Does this really matter? Does anyone have a packetengine NIC anymore? \377 octal is 0xff, so this is matching a broadcast address. is_broadcast_ether_addr(addr) would be appropriate. So would using a temporary address. u8 *addr = (u8 *)(unsigned long)le32_to_cpu(etc) but the whole thing looks very suspect as an le32 value could not be added to correctly on a big-endian arch anyway. My guess is this was tested only on an x86 and it should be: u8 *addr = (u8 *)(unsigned long)(le32_to_cpu(yp->rx_ring_dma) + entry * sizeof(struct yellowfin_desc)); It maybe better just to leave these two alone.
