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. Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
