Use eth_zero_addr to assign the zero address to the given address array instead of memset when second argument is address of zero. Note that the 6 in the third argument of memset appears to represent an ethernet address size (ETH_ALEN). The Coccinelle semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: // <smpl> @eth_zero_addr@ expression e; @@ -memset(e,0x00,6); +eth_zero_addr(e); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar <vthakkar1994@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c b/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c index d17618f..ec397c4 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c @@ -611,7 +611,7 @@ static int pctv452e_read_mac_address(struct dvb_usb_device *d, u8 mac[6]) return 0; failed: - memset(mac, 0, 6); + eth_zero_addr(mac); return ret; } -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
