Subject: [PATCH net-next 09/13] sfc: Use canonical pointer type for MAC address in efx_set_mac_address()

From: Shradha Shah <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 18:59:54 +0000

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>

Functions such as is_valid_ether_addr() expect u8 *, so use that
instead of char *.
