Subject: lib: add byteorder helpers for the aligned case
From: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@xxxxxxxxx>
Some users know the pointer they are writing to are aligned, rather than
doing *(__le16 *)ptr = cpu_to_le16(val) add helpers wrapping this up that
have the same convention as put_unaligned_le/be.
