> mwifiex driver calls is_zero_ether_addr() against byte-aligned address:

MAC addresses really must be 16-bit aligned to be used with any of the
ethernet address manipulation and test interfaces.

Therefore this driver should do whatever it takes to avoid passing
a byte-aligned MAC address anywhere.

We _SHOULD NOT_ add support for byte aligned addresses to these
interfaces, nor add routines which by-name can handle them.

Fix this driver instead of polluting out common interfaces
unnecessarily.

Thanks.
