This patch fixes the following warning found by checkpatch.pl:
Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() if the Ethernet addresses are __aligned(2
Pahole showed that the structure for BAReq and Delba is aligned:
struct rtllib_hdr_3addr {
__le16 frame_ctl; /* 0 2 */
__le16 duration_id; /* 2 2 */
u8 addr1[6]; /* 4 6 */
u8 addr2[6]; /* 10 6 */
u8 addr3[6]; /* 16 6 */
__le16 seq_ctl; /* 22 2 */
u8 payload[0]; /* 24 0 */
/* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

This patch replaces use of memcpy with ether_addr_copy since
the addresses for struct of hdr11 are aligned as shown by Pahole
and hdr is of type u8.
struct rtllib_hdr_4addr {
__le16 frame_ctl; /* 0 2 */
__le16 duration_id; /* 2 2 */
u8 addr1[6]; /* 4 6 */
u8 addr2[6]; /* 10 6 */
u8 addr3[6]; /* 16 6 */
__le16 seq_ctl; /* 22 2 */
u8 addr4[6]; /* 24 6 */
u8 payload[0]; /* 30 0 */
/* size: 30, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */
/* last cacheline: 30 bytes */
};
The following checkpatch warning is eliminated:
