From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> A patch from 2017 changed some accesses to DMA memory to use get_unaligned_le32() and similar interfaces, to avoid problems with doing unaligned accesson uncached memory. However, the change in the mwifiex_pcie_alloc_sleep_cookie_buf() function ended up changing the size of the access instead, as it operates on a pointer to u8. Change this function back to actually access the entire 32 bits. Note that the pointer is aligned by definition because it came from dma_alloc_coherent().

I assume it will go via some other tree so: Acked-by: Kalle Valo <redacted>
I have queued the series in the asm-generic tree for 5.14, as the patches
that depend on this one are a little too invasive for 5.13 at this point.
If you think this fix should be in 5.13, please take it through your tree.
