Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== ethernet: add eth_hw_addr_gen() for switches While doing the last polishing of the drivers/ethernet changes I realized we have a handful of drivers offsetting some base MAC addr by an id. So I decided to add a helper for it. The helper takes care of wrapping which is probably not 100% necessary but seems like a good idea. And it saves driver side LoC (the diffstat is actually negative if we compare against the changes I'd have to make if I was to convert all these drivers to not operate directly on netdev->dev_addr). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
