Checkpatch.pl warning

[Shraddha Barke <shraddha.6596@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have come across the following checkpatch.pl warning a number of times:

WARNING: Prefer ether_addr_equal() or ether_addr_equal_unaligned() over memcmp()

What exactly does it mean?

What is the fix for this warning?

Any help or links to appropriate Documentation will be good.

Thanks in advance!
