This seems a little strange. Why would it be both in LE and CPU byte
order?
Indeed. When we receive it from the device it is in LE and we convert it
to CPU order for further processing using rxh_cpu.
That seems a confusing and error-prone -- you'll have to remember
whether you're before or after conversion. Would it be possible to have
two versions of the outer structure and change the pointer type at that
point?

For me knowing the driver design (a little ;-) it is not difficult to
remember. Your feedback has valid arguments so I will reconsider. Franky
is looking whether dropping it will affect the other patches submitted
to Greg.
Gr. AvS
Dropping this one will affect some following patches in the series.
Since it's not a bug, shall we keep this one and change it as Johannes
suggested in future commit?
Franky
