Subject: [ 54/54] pch_gbe: memory corruption calling pch_gbe_validate_option()

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 73f98eab9b9e0bab492ca06add5657d9e702ddb1 upstream.

pch_gbe_validate_option() modifies 32 bits of memory but we pass
&hw->phy.autoneg_advertised which only has 16 bits and &hw->mac.fc
which only has 8 bits.
