From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Ether_addr_equal_64bits is more efficient than ether_addr_equal, and can be used when each argument is an array within a structure that contains at least two bytes of data beyond the array. The structures involved are: at76_priv defined in drivers/net/wireless/at76c50x-usb.h and ieee80211_mgmt defined in include/linux/ieee80211.h This was done using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).
