The struct hif_ind_startup is received from the hardware. So it is
declared as little endian. However, it is also stored in the main driver
structure and used on different places in the driver. Sparse complains
about that:
drivers/staging/wfx/data_tx.c:388:43: warning: restricted __le16 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/bh.c:199:9: warning: restricted __le16 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/bh.c:221:62: warning: restricted __le16 degrades to integer
In order to make Sparse happy and to keep access from the driver easy,
this patch declare hif_ind_startup with native endianness.
On reception of this struct, this patch takes care to do byte-swap and
keep Sparse happy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
