To be honest, I didn't really thought about it that much, I just copy pasted that from Evgeniy Polyakov's hunk at drivers/w1/w1_io.c, function w1_reset_select_slave(struct w1_slave *sl) exept I changed the MATCH_ROM with magic 0x96 and appended magic 0x3C. I have tested it only on the available platform I have which is x86. I agree it looks dodgy. Do you have an alternative? You are certainly more familiar with the kernel's fancy bit and endian tools than I am. I'd be willing to test prior to sending V3.

struct w1_reg_num
{
#if defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
	__u64	family:8,
		id:48,
		crc:8;
#elif defined(__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
	__u64	crc:8,
		id:48,
		family:8;
#else
#error "Please fix <asm/byteorder.h>"
#endif
};

On the wire, the family byte should be sent first, then the MSB of id, then the rest of id and finally the crc.

Perhaps Evgeniy can chime in here?
