Yes, set what you are reading from the hardware, and then do the proper
transformation to the cpu native types for the upper layers where
needed.

Then that means someone is not properly handling errors, and assuming
that whatever data is in the buffer is correct? Try fixing that bug :)
See my other comments about not handling errors, perhaps that is where
the problem is.
