Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] bna: fix firmware loading on big-endian machines

Firmware required by bna is stored in appropriate files as sequence
of LE32 integers. After loading by request_firmware() they need to be
byte-swapped on big-endian arches. Without this conversion the NIC
is unusable on big-endian machines.
