It will not, It will prevent people from sending checkpatch 'fixes'
until I (or someone else) will submit ultimate fix - that is
ether_addr_copy_unaligned().

I didn't included it into this series, as this requires cross-tree
synchronization (net + staging) and I prefer to do it later in a
smaller changeset (2 patches - one for net, one for staging).

If you think it's unnecessary, I'll throw it away in v4.

Mateusz
