Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 7/8] net: drivers: get ready for const netdev->dev_addr

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2021 16:21:02 -0700

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 go through appropriate helpers. We will make
netdev->dev_addr a const.

Make sure local references to netdev->dev_addr are constant.
