Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 19:23:18 +0200 From: Johannes Berg <johannes@...solutions.net> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 6/8] alx: fix MAC address alignment problem 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.
