Ok, I think I found it:

On big endianess plattforms newly created ext4 file systems cannot be mounted
and show messages like:
[6923911.715968] EXT4-fs: not enough memory for 522250 flex groups
[6923911.715973] EXT4-fs: unable to initialize flex_bg meta info!

We have to access s_reserved_gdb_blocks with le16_to_cpu.

I suspect that you want to do the le16_to_cpu() and _then_
add the 1.  Otherwise, adding 1 to a different byte order
value won't do quite what is expected or hoped for...
