From 353af85ed811d84ca349c6d6e5df8055eeab5bd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiner Kallweit Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 21:39:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] r8169: avoid potentially misaligned access when getting mac address Interpreting a member of an u16 array as u32 may result in a misaligned access. Also it's not really intuitive to define a mac address variable as array of three u16 words. Therefore use an array of six bytes that is properly aligned for 32 bit access.
