OK, this bit seems fine

IMO: this existing code however is ugly.
     Casting a pointer to a size_t isn't great.

Perhaps:

				struct dhcpMessage *dhcp;

				dhcp = (void *)udhp + sizeof(struct udphdr);

in a separate patch.

And dhcph->cookie already is a __be32 so the cast is pointless.

drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_br_ext.c-598-  __be32 cookie;
