[PATCH v5 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Replace network magic numbers with EtherType macros
Posted by Marcos Andrade 3 weeks ago
Replace hardcoded magic numbers for network protocols (e.g., 0x0806
for ARP, 0x888e for EAPOL) with their standard EtherType macro
equivalents (ETH_P_ARP, ETH_P_PAE) defined in <linux/if_ether.h>.

This change improves code readability and aligns the driver with
standard Linux networking definitions.
