Subject: [PATCH 5.12 033/242] igb: fix assignment on big endian machines

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit b514958dd1a3bd57638b0e63b8e5152b1960e6aa ]

The igb driver was trying hard to be sparse correct, but somehow
ended up converting a variable into little endian order and then
tries to OR something with it.

A much plainer way of doing things is to leave all variables and
OR operations in CPU (non-endian) mode, and then convert to
little endian only once, which is what this change does.

This probably fixes a bug that might have been seen only on
big endian systems.
