etherdevice: fix comments
Fix some minor problems in comments of etherdevice.h * Warning is out dated, file hasn't moved or disappeared in many years and is unlikely to do so soon. * Capitalize Ethernet consistently since it is a proper name * Fix descriptive comment of padding * Spelling and grammar fix for alignment comment Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
