net: dsa: mxl862xx: avoid unaligned 16-bit access in api_wrap
The MXL862XX_API_* macros pass the address of a stack-allocated, __packed
firmware-ABI struct to mxl862xx_api_wrap() as a void *. The struct has an
alignment of 1, so the compiler is free to place it at an odd address.
mxl862xx_api_wrap() reinterprets that buffer as a __le16 * and accesses it
with data[i], for which the compiler assumes the natural 2-byte alignment
of __le16 and emits aligned 16-bit loads/stores (e.g. lhu/sh on MIPS).
When the buffer lands on an odd address these fault on architectures that
do not support unaligned access, such as MIPS32.
-Waddress-of-packed-member does not catch this: the packed origin is
laundered through the void * parameter, so the cast inside api_wrap looks
alignment-safe to the compiler and no warning is emitted.
Use get_unaligned_le16()/put_unaligned_le16() for the three 16-bit word
accesses. The byte accesses (*(u8 *)&data[i], crc16()) are already safe
and are left unchanged.
