[U-Boot] [PATCH] ppc: mpc8323erdb: Fix compiler warning

[Marek Vasut]

Fix the following warning:

mpc8323erdb.c: In function 'mac_read_from_eeprom':
mpc8323erdb.c:198:3: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
   if (crc32(crc, buf, 24) == *(unsigned int *)&buf[24]) {
   ^

Size remains unchanged after and before fix:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 206977   18748   23344  249069   3cced ./u-boot

Note the fix is the crudest possible, but also least intrusive.

Please see Timur's review comments to my original patch for this
isssue ([1]). The "unsigned int" should indeed be fixed.

I resubmitted a v2 with the review comments incorporated on July 08,
see [2], but I caught only one part of the needed changes.  V3 sent
right now; see [3].  I'd rather see this added than yours.

Also note that it might be a good idea to add the MPC83xx custodion to
the Cc: list of such patches...

OK, I didn't know you were at it.

Yes, I only added the board maintainer, who's apparently no longer at FSL :(
