Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] qlcnic: Fix endianess issue in firmware load from file operation

From: Shahed Shaikh <shahed.shaikh@...gic.com>

Firmware binary file is in little endian. On big-endian architecture, while
writing this binary FW file to adapters memory, writel() swaps the data resulting into
corruption of FW image. So, swap the data before writing into adapters memory.
