The field 'status' appears in most of structs returned by the hardware.
This field is encoded as little endian. Sparse complains this field is
not always correctly accessed:
drivers/staging/wfx/data_rx.c:53:16: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/data_rx.c:84:16: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/data_tx.c:526:24: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/data_tx.c:569:23: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/hif_rx.c:128:33: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/./traces.h:401:1: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
drivers/staging/wfx/./traces.h:401:1: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
In most of cases, this field is only compared with HIF_STATUS values.
Finally, it is more convenient to solve the problem by defining the
HIF_STATUS values directly in little endian.
It is also the right time to make some clean up in the HIF_STATUS names.

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.
