This patch removes the warning
---8<--- at91_emac.c: In function 'at91emac_write_hwaddr': at91_emac.c:487:2: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules --->8---

It is possible, that there is an endianess problem. It would be great, if one could test it on real hardware!
Reinhard, you could adopt the macb driver also to get the warning there fixed. If it works on at91sam this way it would also work on at91rm9200 cause they have the same endianess.
