Subject: [PATCH 5.4 17/56] mac80211: mesh: fix potentially unaligned access

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit b9731062ce8afd35cf723bf3a8ad55d208f915a5 ]

The pointer here points directly into the frame, so the
access is potentially unaligned. Use get_unaligned_le16
to avoid that.
