[PATCH 1/5] crypto: chacha20 - Fix unaligned access when loading constants

From: Eric Biggers
Date: Wed Nov 22 2017 - 14:52:15 EST


From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

The four 32-bit constants for the initial state of ChaCha20 were loaded
from a char array which is not guaranteed to have the needed alignment.

Fix it by just assigning the constants directly instead.
