Are you using the staging branch of Greg's tree? If so, you should be using
staging-next. The exact patch that you submitted has already been applied as
commit 6839bc81478f entitled "staging: rtl8712: changed uint to __le32" and
authored by Jannik Becher <becher.jannik@xxxxxxxxx>. The patch was applied on
Tue Dec 20.
Sorry that I did not remember about that earlier patch with the first reply;
however, you did get the fix right this time. Congratulations as these endian
issues can be difficult.
In a quick look at the code, I see that there are a number of endian problems in
the headers for the 802.11 packets, and in the macros that read and write the TX
and RX descriptors. It is surprising that the driver actually works on
big-endian hardware. I do not know how much experience you have, but the macros
are tricky. I will try to get them cleaned up.
