Subject: [PATCH] staging wlan-ng: mark PDA buf as __le16

PDA buffer contains little-endian data, clearly mark it as such.

Fixes sparse warnings:
  drivers/staging/wlan-ng/hfa384x_usb.c:2359:34: warning: cast to restricted __le16
  drivers/staging/wlan-ng/hfa384x_usb.c:2360:35: warning: cast to restricted __le16
  drivers/staging/wlan-ng/hfa384x_usb.c:2382:44: warning: cast to restricted __le16
