From 0c5e86a1846168d11e1de207cc03e1b7911dd015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Th=C3=A9o=20Lebrun?= Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 18:00:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: macb: avoid dealing with endianness in macb_set_hwaddr() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit [ 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: ⟩ make C=2 drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.o warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) expected unsigned int [usertype] bottom got restricted __le32 [usertype] warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) expected unsigned short [usertype] top got restricted __le16 [usertype] ...
