Subject: [PATCH net v5 5/5] net: macb: avoid dealing with endianness in macb_set_hwaddr()
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 18:15:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910-macb-fixes-v5-5-f413a3601ce4@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250910-macb-fixes-v5-0-f413a3601ce4@bootlin.com>
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]
...
