X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~62^2~27
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=79b67612605096c0008e71f23f3820c7c117ba11;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

staging: rtl8723bs: use ether_addr_copy() for MAC address copying

Replaces multiple memcpy() calls with ether_addr_copy() for copying
MAC/Ethernet addresses in rtl8723bs. This improves readability and
aligns with Linux kernel best practices for handling Ethernet addresses.

Fixes the following checkpatch.pl warning:
"Use ether_addr_copy() instead of memcpy() for Ethernet addresses."

These updates enhance code clarity and maintain consistency with
network driver conventions.
