  2. net: add helper eth_set_protocol 

    In all cases I've seen eth_type_trans() is used as in the new helper.
Biggest benefit is improved readability when replacing statements like
the following:
desc->skb->protocol = eth_type_trans(desc->skb, priv->dev);

Coccinelle tells me that using the new helper tree-wide would touch
313 files. Therefore I'd like to check for feedback before bothering
100+ maintainers.
