Are you sure this doesn't introduce a bug on big endian systems? We just
recently applied commit b9e2535acad8f52a17e2aa843d45a6b756b59592 which
adds this le32_to_cpu conversion. Probably the correct fix is to update
this fw_version struct definition to use __le32 for any member that's
expected to be in little endian format?
