Not quite.  I meant this could be:

		u8 *addr = (u8 *)(unsigned long)le32_to_cpu(yp->rx_ring_dma) +
							    entry * sizeof(struct yellowfin_desc);

		if (!ether_addr_equal(addr, dev->dev_addr) &&
		    !is_broadcast_ether_addr(addr)) {
			etc...

but again, I think thus hardly matters and could just as well
be left alone.
