Théo Lebrun 7eab99ffe3 net: macb: avoid dealing with endianness in macb_set_hwaddr()
[ Upstream commit 70a5ce8bc94545ba0fb47b2498bfb12de2132f4d ]

bp->dev->dev_addr is of type `unsigned char *`. Casting it to a u32
pointer and dereferencing implies dealing manually with endianness,
which is error-prone.

Replace by calls to get_unaligned_le32|le16() helpers.

This was found using sparse:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
