Any reason to not have this as u8?
commit 09305da97c7808b900985526aa9198233f32fb37 had changed this to u8..

In the new code, still does a memcpy(). So, I am not sure if I understand
why memcpy() does not work.

        if (uuid_tkn->token == SKL_TKN_UUID) {
                memcpy(guid, &uuid_tkn->uuid, 16);
                return 0;
        }

Replied on the older mail since Pierre had a similar question as well.
