Thanks for your comment, I think I can change it to val[0] | (val[1]
<< 8), is it okay ?

Mh, currently there is only one caller (device_pca953x_init) which passes only
0, 0 or 0xff, 0xff, so endianess is irrelevant. But to be future proof this
should be done in an endian-safe manner. Though cpu_to_le16p does not work,
due to same alignment problem as casting to u16*.


I think get_unaligned((u16 *) val) should do the job.
There's also get_unaligned_le* get_unaligned_be*
