'data' is not necessarily aligned on an unsigned int boundary.
But second of all you want to use a fixed size type like "u32" or
similar here, not "unsigned int".
Altogether, something like:
union {
u8 data_u8[NCSI_OEM_MLX_CMD_GMA_LEN];
u32 data_u32[[NCSI_OEM_MLX_CMD_GMA_LEN / sizeof(u32)];
} u;
memset(&u, 0, sizeof(u));
u.data_u32[0] = ntohl(NCSI_OEM_MFR_MLX_ID);
u.data_u8[5] = NCSI_OEM_MLX_CMD_GMA;
u.data_u8[6] = NCSI_OEM_MLX_CMD_GMA_PARAM;
If the rest of the ncsi driver has crud like this, it all needs
to be fixed up similarly.
