Looking at include/linux/unaligned/generic.h, I think you can just use: __get_unaligned_le(&part->start_sect) == 1UL I don't believe the __le32 marking of the start_sect field will have any effect, since the implementation of __get_unaligned_le accesses the variable byte-by-byte. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
