Linux currently treats the dump objects specially - the headers are
little endian. All the other (Panfrost) DRM structures are native endian
(although I doubt anyone has tested it so I expect bugs). I've no
particularly strong views on this, but since the dump objects are likely
to be saved to disk and transferred between computers it makes sense to
fix the endianness for those. The __le types currently mean sparse can
warn if we screw up in the kernel, so it would be a shame to lose that
type checking.

Another option would be to extend the list of typedefs in
include/uapi/drm/drm.h to include the __le types. We'd need wider buy-in
for that change though.

Finally etnaviv 'solves' the issue by not including the dump structures
in the UABI header...

Or of course we could just actually use native endian and detect from
the magic which endian is in use. That would require ripping out the
cpu_to_lexx() calls in Linux and making the user space tool more
intelligent. I'm happy with that, but it's pushing the complexity onto Mesa.
