[PATCH v2] tpm/tpm_crb: Avoid unaligned reads in crb_recv()

[Winkler, Tomas]

> 
> The current approach to read first 6 bytes from the response and then tail of
> the response, can cause the 2nd memcpy_fromio() to do an unaligned read
> (e.g. read 32-bit word from address aligned to a 16-bits), depending on how
> memcpy_fromio() is implemented. If this happens, the read will fail and the
> memory controller will fill the read with 1's.
> 
> This was triggered by 170d13ca3a2f, which should be probably refined to check
> and react to the address alignment. Before that commit, on x86
> memcpy_fromio() turned out to be memcpy(). By a luck GCC has done the right
> thing (from tpm_crb's perspective) for us so far, but we should not rely on that.
> Thus, it makes sense to fix this also in tpm_crb, not least because the fix can be
> then backported to stable kernels and make them more robust when compiled
> in differing environments.

After fixing the typos you can add my ack.
