• 0d74c42f7   ether_addr_equal: Optimize implementation, remove unused compare_ether_addr ... Browse Code »

  Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce
  the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very
  slightly improve function performance.

  Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation.
  Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now
  used only once.

  Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function.

  Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the
  compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses
  could occur with ether_addr_equal.
