[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] i40e: don't truncate match_method assignment

> The .match_method field is a u8, so we shouldn't be casting to a u16,

> Just assign the value directly. This avoids issues on Big Endian
> architectures which would have byte swapped and then incorrectly
> truncated the value.
