As for the endianity issue -
I don't think that any fix is needed in the hpb driver.
It is readily seen that the ppn from get_ppn, and the one in the upiu cdb (upiu trace) are identical.
Therefore, if an issue exist, it is IMHO a device issue.

Again, verified on both gs20 (exynos) and mi10 (8250).
