patch 'kni: use dedicated function to set MAC address' has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/23/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/4cfe56040171e791b021d5490f8fd58c55b088fb

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] kni: use dedicated function to set MAC address
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

[ upstream commit b99bd4a0aacab47165d045a6aeee88ee74744600 ]

The warning info:
warning: passing argument 1 of ‘memcpy’ discards ‘const’
qualifier from pointer target type

Variable dev_addr is done const intentionally in v5.17 to prevent using
it directly.  See the following Linux kernel changeset for details:

commit adeef3e32146 ("net: constify netdev->dev_addr")

Used helper function was introduced earlier in v5.15.

Fixes: ea6b39b5b847 ("kni: remove ethtool support")
