This commit message suggested by Dan Carpenter is much better. The previous
one made me think that you were doing several different logical changes.

This is something that I'm still missing. Why do we need that call to
le16_to_cpu on "errcode"?
"errcode" is returned by auth_parse()? I see that this function already
changes the endianness of the returned value.
