The struct hif_msg is received from the hardware. So, it declared as
little endian. However, it is also accessed from many places in the
driver. Sparse complains about that:

In order to make Sparse happy and to keep access from the driver easy,
this patch declare 'len' with native endianness.
On reception of hardware data, this patch takes care to do byte-swap and
keep Sparse happy.
