Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 103/133] net: fix endian check warning in etherdevice.h
Date
3.16.7-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

commit fbaff3ef859a86dc3df2128d2de9f8a6e255a967 upstream.

Sparse builds have been warning for a really long time now
that etherdevice.h has a conversion that is unsafe.

include/linux/etherdevice.h:79:32: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer

This code change fixes the issue and generates the exact
same assembly before/after (checked on x86_64)

Fixes: 2c722fe1c821 (etherdevice: Optimize a few is_<foo>_ether_addr functions)
