From 4b6ba8aacbb3185703b797286547d0f8f3859b02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Daney Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:07:13 -0700 Subject: of/net: Move of_get_mac_address() to a common source file. There are two identical implementations of of_get_mac_address(), one each in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_parse.c and arch/microblaze/kernel/prom_parse.c. Move this function to a new common file of_net.{c,h} and adjust all the callers to include the new header.
