1. Change all "dev->hard_header" to "dev->header_ops" 2. On receiving incoming frames when header_ops == NULL: The comment only says what is wrong, but doesn't say what is right. This patch changes the comment to make it clear what is right. 3. On transmitting and receiving outgoing frames when header_ops == NULL: The comment explains that the LL header will be later added by the driver. However, I think it's better to simply say that the LL header is invisible to us. This phrasing is better from a software engineering perspective, because this makes it clear that what happens in the driver should be hidden from us and we should not care about what happens internally in the driver. 4. On resuming the LL header (for RAW frames) when header_ops == NULL: The comment says we are "unlikely" to restore the LL header. However, we should say that we are "unable" to restore it. It's not possible (rather than not likely) to restore it, because: 1) There is no way for us to restore because the LL header internally processed by the driver should be invisible to us. 2) In function packet_rcv and tpacket_rcv, the code only tries to restore the LL header when header_ops != NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
