Subject: [PATCH 1/1] parse: Convert parse_mac() to conventions of parse.c
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 15:26:09 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819052609.1177273-2-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819052609.1177273-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
parse_mac() predates parse.c and doesn't obey the same conventions it now
uses. Convert it to work similarly to the other functions in parse.c.
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
