Hello! While working out some endian-ness issues with virtio, I noticed that the following driver: drivers/platform/mellanox/mlxbf-tmfifo.c seems to access virtio net config directly. E.g.: if (ntohs(hdr.len) > config->mtu + MLXBF_TMFIFO_NET_L2_OVERHEAD) return; This is not incorrect in that the specific device is at the moment always legacy (no virtio 1). However this throws up sparse warnings as the structure is shared with modern devices which need the tagging for correct virtio 1 endian-ness. Using correct conversions will also allow virtio 1 support in this driver down the road. I'd like to merge the following patch. It's on top of a branch config-endian in my tree which includes the endian-ness tagging. Would appreciate acks from relevant maintainers. I also note that the console config field seems to be unused. Would appreciate a confirmation. Thanks! -- mlxbf-tmfifo: endian-ness wrappers for config access Signed-off-by: Michael S.
