Remove byte order conversions.
Conversion is already done in usb_ops_linux.c when accessing usb port.
The deleted lines convert to little-endian and then call FillH2CCmd to
convert back. Additionally, they are applied to wrong types and
process wrong parts of variables later on.

I was looking for some Sparse warnings that I could fix and found this:
drivers/staging/rtl8723au//hal/rtl8723a_cmd.c:96:38: warning: cast to
restricted __le16
drivers/staging/rtl8723au//hal/rtl8723a_cmd.c:100:27: warning: cast to
restricted __le32
drivers/staging/rtl8723au//hal/rtl8723a_cmd.c:118:25: warning: incorrect
type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/rtl8723au//hal/rtl8723a_cmd.c:118:25: expected
unsigned int [unsigned] [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/rtl8723au//hal/rtl8723a_cmd.c:118:25: got restricted
__le32 [usertype] <noident>
The rtl8723au drivers seems to work on many machines already, but
probably mostly on little-endian machines.
The file staging/rtl8723au/hal/rtl8723a_cmd.c contains four conversions
from or to little-endian that look suspicious.
The best example is:
int rtl8723a_set_rssi_cmd(struct rtw_adapter *padapter, u8 *param)
{
*((u32 *)param) = cpu_to_le32(*((u32 *)param));
FillH2CCmd(padapter, RSSI_SETTING_EID, 3, param);
return _SUCCESS;
}
On little-endian, the conversion does nothing, but on big-endian, it
swaps the order and then only 3 bytes are used in FillH2CCmd (3rd
argument). So it actually ignores the original argument param.
I think it is best to delete these conversions because the actual
conversions are done when transferring data to or from the usb port already.
Unfortunately, I do not have the hardware to test it.
What do you think about the patch?
