The previous function to call rtw_find_network(), has been aligned for
parameter 'addr',
because it has been defined an arry[6];
such as unsigned char MacAddress[ETH_ALEN] in struct wlan_bssid_ex;
179 struct wlan_bssid_ex {
180 u32 Length;
181 unsigned char MacAddress[ETH_ALEN];
182 u8 Reserved[2];/* 0]: IS beacon frame */
183 struct ndis_802_11_ssid ssid;
184 u32 Privacy;
185 NDIS_802_11_RSSI Rssi;/* in dBM,raw data ,get from PHY) */
186 enum NDIS_802_11_NETWORK_TYPE NetworkTypeInUse;
187 struct ndis_802_11_config Configuration;
188 enum ndis_802_11_network_infra InfrastructureMode;
189 unsigned char SupportedRates[NDIS_802_11_LENGTH_RATES_EX];
190 struct wlan_phy_infoPhyInfo;
191 u32 ie_length;
192 u8 ies[MAX_IE_SZ]; /* timestamp, beacon interval, and
193 * capability information)
194 */
195 } __packed;
rtw_survey_event_callback->rtw_find_network(&pmlmepriv->scanned_queue,

As Joe said, you have to prove that this is properly aligned before you
can call this function. Please do so.

Perhaps you are confusing with eth_zero_addr, which is just a memset and
has no alignment requirements.

Perhaps you are reading old documentation.
(though the "Please note:" line is from 2013)
include/linux/etherdevice.h-/**
include/linux/etherdevice.h- * is_zero_ether_addr - Determine if give Ethernet
address is all zeros.
include/linux/etherdevice.h- * @addr: Pointer to a six-byte array containing
the Ethernet address

I think they are completely equivalent functions, no need to check addr is
__aligned(2),
because addr may be defined as unsigned char MacAddress[ETH_ALEN]; the length
is 6.

[PATCH net] staging: rtl8188eu: use is_zero_ether_addr() instead of memcmp()
Using is_zero_ether_addr() instead of directly use
memcmp() to determine if the ethernet address is all
zeros.
