Hi Greg,

This fixes the initial patch that added the driver:

My bad. I ran the checkpatch and got the following result:

I ignored the checks and saw only that errors are 0. Seems like I missed 
fixing the commit text wrapping to 75 chars (On line 12 it has 76 
chars). Will fix it up in v3.

As per the cast, I initially didn't add any cast and saw that the code 
was not able to parse the dwSignature of the NTH and decoding of all 
packets was failing. Only when I added the cast, was the function able 
to decode all packets properly.

the second cast here was just to be in sync with the original code;
__le16		*tmp = (void *) skb->data;

I didn't try removing this and running the test. Will check if the 
second one is required or if decoding is proper without it or not.
