Re: [PATCH] staging: wilc1000: use kernel define byte order macros

Hi Dan,

Can you clarify why the rx_buffer always holds little-endian data? It looks to me like this buffer is filled by
wilc_sdio_cmd53(), which uses sdio_memcpy_toio(), which ultimately sets the data with sg_set_buf(). This function
appears to use host-endian byte ordering.

Regards,
Perry
