Subject: [PATCH] net: 8139too: use unaligned helpers when setting MAC address
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:37:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824103709.98373-1-lucasp.linux@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Lucas <lucasp.linux@gmail.com>

rtl8139_set_mac_address() accesses dev->dev_addr by casting it to u32
pointers. Besides potentially performing unaligned accesses, the second
read starts at offset 4 and reads 32 bits even though only two bytes
remain in the Ethernet address.

Use get_unaligned_le32() and get_unaligned_le16() to read the address
with the appropriate width and endianness. This also fixes the Sparse
type warnings caused by passing __le32 values to iowrite32().
