[NET]: Annotate h_proto in struct ethhdr
The protocol field in ethernet headers is big-endian and should be annotated as such. This patch allows detection of missing ntohs() calls on the ethernet protocol field when sparse is run with __CHECK_ENDIAN__ defined. This is a revised version that includes <linux/types.h> so that the userspace programs are not confused by __be16. Thanks to David S. Miller.
