The return from myid() isn't aligned correctly for ether_addr_copy().

Hey Dan.

Actual evidence showing ether_addr_copy conversions
may not always be wise.

How did you find them?

Is there a new alignment capability in smatch?

I was just trying to see how common these kinds of bugs are.  It didn't
take long to find, but my impression is that they are rare and I got
lucky.  These kinds of bugs are tricky to find and we don't have any
tools for it.

Couldn't you just use your favorite matching tool, collect the file names,
compile them, run pahole, and process the output in some way?  It doesn't
give a complete analysis (you don't find all problems), but if you find a
problem it is a real problem.

Well...  You would be better off using Smatch than pahole.  And
obviously I did try something like this, but it's fairly tricky.

Sorry, this makes no sense, just fix it properly!

drivers/staging/rtl8723au/include/rtw_eeprom.h:

struct eeprom_priv {
        u8              bautoload_fail_flag;
        u8              bloadfile_fail_flag;
        u8              bloadmac_fail_flag;
        /* u8           bempty; */
        /* u8           sys_config; */
        u8              mac_addr[6];    /* PermanentAddress */
        /* u8           config0; */

Move mac_addr[6] to the top of the struct and be done with it.

NACK

As far as I know, that's true too.

Jes, was the mac_addr field in this struct
ever __aligned(2)?

struct eeprom_priv {
       u8              bautoload_fail_flag;
       u8              bloadfile_fail_flag;
       u8              bloadmac_fail_flag;
       /* u8           bempty; */
       /* u8           sys_config; */
       u8              mac_addr[6];    /* PermanentAddress */
...
}

As far as I can tell from git history, it was
that way at the first check-in.

Dan, did you also look for any other alignment
defects in uses of any is_<foo>_ether_addr calls?

Oops.  I thought it was something from the hardware.  Actually can you
fix it and give me a reported-by tag?

That stuff is just copied into memory from the eeprom, so we can pretty
much do with it as we like.

I'll put it on my list.

I may have removed other entries that were unused, and that caused it to
become mis-aligned. I can't say for sure - the fix is straight forward
though.
