[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: use unaligned access macros in rtw_security.c
Posted by Archit Anant 1 week, 1 day ago
The driver defines custom functions secmicgetuint32() and
secmicputuint32() to handle little-endian byte-to-integer conversion.
This is redundant as the kernel provides optimized standard macros for
this purpose in <linux/unaligned.h>.

Replace the custom implementations with get_unaligned_le32() and
put_unaligned_le32() and delete the now-unused local functions.

Looks good to me.
