I'm not sure your change is correct. Perhaps you should add temporary
variables for h2c_cmd_ex and h2c_cmd while they're cpu-endian?

Jes,

I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this has come up. Do you
have any ideas for a solution? Or should we ignore this as this driver
will eventually be going away?

Thanks,

Julian Calaby
