The perfect_match parameter of the update_vlan_hash operation is __le16,
and is correctly converted from host byte-order in the lone caller,
stmmac_vlan_update().
However, the implementations of this caller, dwxgmac2_update_vlan_hash()
and dwxgmac2_update_vlan_hash(), both treat this parameter as host byte
order, using the following pattern:
u32 value = ...
...
writel(value | perfect_match, ...);
This is not correct because both:
1) value is host byte order; and
2) writel expects a host byte order value as it's first argument
I believe that this will break on big endian systems. And I expect it
has gone unnoticed by only being exercised on little endian systems.
The approach taken by this patch is to update the callback, and it's
caller to simply use a host byte order value.
Flagged by Sparse.
Compile tested only.

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 reStructuredText 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.
