Staging: vt6656: replace memcpy() by ether_addr_copy() using coccinelle and pack variable
Staging: vt6656: replace memcpy() by ether_addr_copy() using coccinelle and pack variable

This patch focuses on fixing the following warning generated
by checkpatch.pl for the file rxtx.c

Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() if the Ethernet addresses
are __aligned(2)

@@ expression e1, e2; @@

- memcpy(e1, e2, ETH_ALEN);
+ ether_addr_copy(e1, e2);

According to ether_addr_copy() description and functionality,
all Ethernet addresses should align to the u16 datatype.
The changes were applied using the following coccinelle rule:
