[PATCH v2 01/11] net: net_read_uint32: assert that only 32 bit are read

[Uwe Kleine-König]

On some architectures (e.g. alpha, amd64, arm64, ia64, s390x, mips64)
sizeof(ulong) is 8 which made net_read_uint32 actually read too much and
even returned the wrong value on big endian machines.
(Note the second issue isn't that critical though, because the only
architecture from the list above that uses big endian byte order is s390x
...)

Also change the argument to void * because the pointer is not necessarily
properly aligned.
