V2: Add missing SPOFF

I didn't confirm my issue to be related to this patch, but with recent
kernels my MAC has changed from
00:11:22:33:44:55
to
11:00:33:22:55:44
Larry: did you verify MAC didn't change for you?
I just checked it on PowerPC and it changed it the same way as yours did.
The problem is that the MAC is stored in the SPROM in big-endian order, thus the
sequence
+ for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
+ *mac++ = in[i];
+ *mac++ = in[i] >> 8;
+ }
needs to be changed to
+ for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
+ *mac++ = in[i] >> 8;
+ *mac++ = in[i];
+ }
After that change, it is OK, at least on the PPC.
BTW, that patch is not yet in my copy of wireless-testing.
