Subject: [PATCH 2/8] char: xillybus: Safer access of unaligned pointers
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 12:27:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109112800.48663-3-eli.billauer@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109112800.48663-1-eli.billauer@gmail.com>

Use get_unaligned_le16() rather than dereferencing unaligned pointers
directly for portability.
