Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: r8188eu: Fix PPPoE tag insertion on little endian systems

In __nat25_add_pppoe_tag(), the tag length is read from the tag data
structure. The value is kept in network format, but read as raw value.
With -Warray-bounds, this results in the following gcc error/warning
when building the driver on alpha.

In function '__nat25_add_pppoe_tag',
    inlined from 'nat25_db_handle' at
	drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_br_ext.c:479:11:
arch/alpha/include/asm/string.h:22:16: error:
	'__builtin_memcpy' forming offset [40, 2051] is out of the bounds
	[0, 40] of object 'tag_buf' with type 'unsigned char[40]'

Add the missing be16_to_cpu() to fix the compile error. It should be
noted, however, that this fix means that the code did probably not work
on any little endian systems and/or that the driver has other endiannes
related issues. A build with C=1 suggests that this is indeed the case.
This patch does not attempt to fix any of those other issues.

v3: alpha is little endian, not big endian. Change wording of subject
    and commit message accordingly.
v2: Use be16_to_cpu().
    Add comment to patch description suggesting that the driver may have
    other endianness related problems.
