Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: btusb: using big-endian definition for
 board_id in struct qca_version

Hi Tim,

my original comment still stands. Are you sure you are doing this correctly. The in-memory layout of your NVM is mixed little-endian and big-endian? Really? Or do you want to convert back from host endian to big endian?

You commit message text suggest that you have to do this:

diff --git a/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c b/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
index 46d892bbde62..55a33a5fea56 100644
--- a/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
+++ b/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c

                } else {
                        snprintf(fwname, max_size, "qca/nvm_usb_%08x%s_%04x.bin",
-                               rom_version, variant, board_id);

        } else {
                snprintf(fwname, max_size, "qca/nvm_usb_%08x.bin”,

And really, I can not do this anymore. Write lengthy commit messages explaining your change in detail. I am not looking a patches anymore until they have a proper paragraph explaining the change and why it is correct.

Also this change had v16 before I merged and even in that version I had to fix issues. Please stop wasting my time. I have no idea why this wasn’t caught earlier. It is a fundamental flaw. I am close to just reverting the previous patch since it seems it clearly needs more testing.

Regards

Marcel
