This is incorrect.  The stag is filled in by HW which is BE.  The
declaration of
scqe.stag needs to be __be32.

So why do you declare stag as u32?

I'm saying it is a bug that stag is declared as u32.  t4_cqe.u.scqe.stag should
be declared as __be32.

So the fix for the sparse warning should be something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/t4.h b/drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/t4.h
index e765c00..bcb80ca6 100644

Technically speaking, the stag is opaque to software and should be
declared as a non-integer type, e.g. u8 stag[4]. However, most
code treats it as a native 32-bit type, and performs integer
stores to pass it in the WR. If declaring as __be32 achieves
that without manipulating byte order, well, ok, but it's not
perfectly accurate, type-wise.
