[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH v2] uapi/if_ether.h: prevent redefinition of struct ethhdr

[Linus Walleij]

From: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke at hauke-m.de>

commit 6926e041a8920c8ec27e4e155efa760aa01551fd upstream.

Musl provides its own ethhdr struct definition. Add a guard to prevent
its definition of the appropriate musl header has already been included.

glibc does not implement this header, but when glibc will implement this
they can just define __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR 0 to make it work with the
kernel.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Add SoB line

- This is upstream in v4.15
- This should be applied for stable v4.14.y and v4.9.y
