Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] net: constify dev_addr passing for protocols

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount 
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

netdev->dev_addr will be made const to prevent direct writes.
This set sprinkles const across variables and arguments in protocol
code which are used to hold references to netdev->dev_addr.
