I would prefer to adopt the Linux commit fixing this code which apart
from the out-of-bounds access also has endianess fixes and makes the
code simpler:

Subject: [PATCH] net: gianfar: make MAC addr setup endian safe, cleanup

This is an adoption of Linux commit:

|     gianfar: Make MAC addr setup endian safe, cleanup
|
|     Fix the 32-bit memory access that is not endian safe,
|     i.e. not giving the desired byte layout for a LE CPU:
|     tempval = *((u32 *) (tmpbuf + 4)), where 'char tmpbuf[]'.
|
|     Get rid of rendundant local vars (tmpbuf[] and idx) and
|     forced casts.  Cleanup comments.
