I had the same question as yours when I did this conversion, but they
are correct because we access these H2C commands/C2H events via registers
which are CPU order.

A bug I found is that use struct bit-field to access these data. This 
will cause big-endian machine wrong, and I fix them by this patch as well. 

I hope we don't miss something.
