I forgot to highlight on the earlier driver that there is also 'technically'
a bit of an ABI change here because we are now exporting as LE rather than CPU
order. However, I 'hope' anyone actually accessing the buffered data is either
doing it through a nice library or hasn't hacked the endian unwinding out of
the generic_buffer example!

Again, fingers crossed this doesn't break anything significant.

Applied,

Thanks,

Jonathan
