3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@xxxxxxxxx> commit c03890ff5e24a4bf59059f2d179f427559b7330a upstream. A recent patch that purported to fix firmware download on big-endian machines failed to add the corresponding sparse annotation to the i2c-header. This was reported by the kbuild test robot. Adding the appropriate annotation revealed another endianess bug related to the i2c-header Size-field in a code path that is exercised when the firmware is actually being downloaded (and not just verified and left untouched unless older than the firmware at hand). This patch adds the required sparse annotation to the i2c-header and makes sure that the Size-field is sent in little-endian byte order during firmware download also on big-endian machines. Note that this patch is only compile-tested, but that there is no functional change for little-endian systems.
