net: macb: avoid dealing with endianness in macb_set_hwaddr()

[ Upstream commit 70a5ce8bc94545ba0fb47b2498bfb12de2132f4d ]

bp->dev->dev_addr is of type `unsigned char *`. Casting it to a u32
pointer and dereferencing implies dealing manually with endianness,
which is error-prone.

Replace by calls to get_unaligned_le32|le16() helpers.

This was found using sparse:
