Instead of accessing netdev->uc.count and netdev->uc.list by hand in each
driver, this patch converts it to use two macros netdev_uc_count and
netdev_for_each_uc_addr and makes the code nicer. Will post similar helpers for
mc list soon.

I should have mentioned this the other day, but I don't like
having "unsigned char *" being the type of the element iterator.

Sure it allows you, I guess, to eliminate one local variable
in the places the iterate, but it definitely is at the cost
of aestetics.

Please use some normal iterating object for the iterator, such as
"struct list_head *" or "struct netdev_hw_addr *".  Probably the
latter would work best.

Well I use "unsigned char *" as iterator because it would allow smooth thansition
to list_head in case of mc_list. Currently "struct dev_addr_list" is used to
store address in the list but in the end "struct netdev_hw_addr *" will be used.
To use "struct list_head *" or "struct netdev_hw_addr *" as an iterator it would
be needed to convert all drivers at once and that's not doable. Therefore I see
"unsigned char *" cursor as the best option.

But it's not what you want to use in the end, at all.

If you're going to use a very ugly and opaque iterator type merely to
ease transition, that's not a good reason.

I definitelly see your concerns. I'll think of a better way. Thanks for the
review!

Redards.
