Re: [PATCH 03/14] mailbox: pcc: Drop unnecessary endianness conversion of pcc_hdr.flags

The Sparse static checker flags a type mismatch warning related to
endianness conversion:

   |  warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
   |     expected restricted __le32 const [usertype] *p
   |     got unsigned int *

This is because an explicit endianness conversion (le32_to_cpu()) was
applied unnecessarily to a pcc_hdr.flags field that is already in
little-endian format.

The PCC driver is only enabled on little-endian kernels due to its
dependency on ACPI and EFI, making the explicit conversion unnecessary.
How to confirm ACPI works only on little-endian?

The redundant conversion occurs in pcc_chan_check_and_ack() for the
pcc_hdr.flags field. Drop this unnecessary endianness conversion of
pcc_hdr.flags.

It's recommanded to delete PCC_ACK_FLAG_MASK and use PCC_CMD_COMPLETION_NOTIFY. They are from the same place, namely, 'Initiator Responder Communications Channel Flags'.
