mali_c55_params_aexp_hist_weights() packs the 225 per-zone u8 weights
into the ISP registers four at a time by casting the zone_weights array
to u32 and dereferencing it. The array sits at offset 10 within the
parameter block, so it is only 2-byte aligned: the u32 access is
unaligned, which is undefined behaviour and can fault on strict-align
configurations or once the loop is auto-vectorised.

The cast also reads the four weights in host byte order before they are
written to the little-endian register, so on big-endian hosts the four
weights packed into each register end up in the wrong byte lanes.

Read the weights with get_unaligned_le32() instead, which is both
alignment-safe and fixes the byte order regardless of host endianness.
