Merge branch 'net-constify-dev_addr-passing-for-protocols'
Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net: constify dev_addr passing for protocols Commit 406f42fa ("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. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211012155840.4151590-1-kuba@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
