The Linux kernel, from which checkpatch originates, contains function
ether_addr_copy() to copy Ethernet MAC addresses, and checkpatch warns
that it should be used in preference to memcpy() where appropriate.
U-Boot doesn't contain ether_addr_copy(), so tell checkpatch not to issue
this warning.

So, add --ignore NETWORKING_BLOCK_COMMENT_STYLE into .checkpatch.conf
This will help to keep all driver include network related driver use

without this, patches don't get checked for proper alignment,
and e.g., for spaces after a cast and/or before a semicolon.
