In bnx2x_get_vf_config():
* The vlan field of ivi is a 32-bit integer, it is used to store a vlan ID.
* The vlan field of bulletin is a 16-bit integer, it is also used to store
a vlan ID.
In the current code, ivi->vlan is set using memset. But in the case of
setting it to the value of bulletin->vlan, this involves reading
32 bits from a 16bit source. This is likely safe, as the following
6 bytes are padding in the same structure, but none the less, it seems
undesirable.
However, it is entirely unclear to me how this scheme works on
big-endian systems.
Resolve this by simply assigning integer values to ivi->vlan.
Flagged by W=1 builds.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
