When building with -Werror=strict-aliasing error is thrown: mmc_cmds.c: In function 'do_ffu': mmc_cmds.c:2972:2: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing] sect_done = htole32(*((__u32 *)&ext_csd[EXT_CSD_NUM_OF_FW_SEC_PROG_0])); ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Let's fix type-punned breaking strict-aliasing by implementing local per_byte_htole32(__u8 *) and use it for the 2 present occurences of htole32(). Let's also change sect_done type to __u32 for consistency.
