[PATCH v3] regmap: fix alignment issue

From: Jens Thoms Toerring
Date: Fri May 29 2020 - 15:25:45 EST


The assembly and disassembly of data to be sent to or received from a
device invoke functions (regmap_format_XXX() and regmap_parse_XXX())
that extract or insert data items from or into a buffer, using
assignments. In some cases those functions are called with buffer
pointers with odd addresses. On architectures with strict alignment
requirements this results in a kernel crash for u16 and u32 values.
The assignments have been replaced by methods that take alignment
into consideration.
