Subject: [PATCH 4.5 146/200] lib/mpi: Endianness fix

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Marek <mmarek@...e.com>

commit 3ee0cb5fb5eea2110db1b5cb7f67029b7be8a376 upstream.

The limbs are integers in the host endianness, so we can't simply
iterate over the individual bytes. The current code happens to work on
little-endian, because the order of the limbs in the MPI array is the
same as the order of the bytes in each limb, but it breaks on
big-endian.

Fixes: 0f74fbf77d45 ("MPI: Fix mpi_read_buffer")
