Summary must not be a statement. Also summary is too long.

I'm not sure that it is appropriate here.

I'd like to understand how is the first author of the patch.
I guess the first signed-off-by. If so, it should be in From
as well.

I guess you're going to use it for other purpose.

Sorry, but it looks like memcpy() byte-by-byte.

Alignment is misleading above and hard to read. Either correct
an alignment or simply call the function before if.
