Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] alx: fix MAC address alignment problem
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:38:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372185503-24705-7-git-send-email-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1372185503-24705-1-git-send-email-johannes@sipsolutions.net>
In two places, parts of MAC addresses are used as u32/u16
values. This can cause alignment problems, use put_unaligned
and get_unaligned to fix this.
