Subject: mac802154: add helper for converting dev_addr
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab24f50f2a3e3f6a38b4852530534aa99d86b4d1;p=linux-beck.git

mac802154: add helper for converting dev_addr

This patch adds a helper for converting the dev_addr attribute in
netdevice to __le64 type. The dev_addr attribute is a char pointer
and contains the extended address in big endian byte order.
