Subject: [patch v2] caif: fix endian conversion in cffrml_transmit()

The "tmp" variable here is used to store the result of cpu_to_le16()
so it should be an __le16 instead of an int.  We want the high bits
set and the current code works on little endian systems but not on
big endian systems.

v2:  In v1 I used a u16 instead of an __le16.  Also I've changed the
name to "data" instead of "tmp".
