Instead of using the above construct, please provide separate versions of
ufs_sysfs_write_desc_param() and ufshcd_rw_desc_param() for each supported
value of "width" (8, 16, 32 and/or 64) and also use the __be8 / __be16 /
__be32 / __be64 annotations for big endian numbers such that it becomes
possible to verify endianness correctness with sparse.

Thanks,

Bart.
