Subject: [PATCH 3.16 106/328] mac802154: tx: use put_unaligned_le16 for
 copy crc

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@...il.com>

commit 061ef8f915988839b12460c47ebfcf3700e124f0 upstream.

This patch replaces the memcpy with a put_unaligned_le16. The placement
of crc inside of PSDU can also be unaligned. With memcpy this can fail
on some architectures.
