Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] staging: rtl8723au: core: endianness issues

The code shows a couple inconsistencies (described in commit
descriptions) which would not be an issue on little-endian cpus, but
could cause breakage on non-LE cpus. Note: I could not test on real
hardware, these patches created based on sparse reports.
