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().
Fixes: 92c70a958b0b ("mwifiex: fix for unaligned reads")

Via which tree should this go? 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.
I think v5.14 is more approriate, so please take this via your tree.
Thanks.
