Subject: [net-next PATCH v3] net: phy: aquantia: drop wrong endianness conversion for addr and CRC

On further testing on BE target with kernel test robot, it was notice
that the endianness conversion for addr and CRC in fw_load_memory was
wrong.

Drop the cpu_to_le32 conversion for addr load as it's not needed.

Use get_unaligned_le32 instead of get_unaligned for FW data word load to
correctly convert data in the correct order to follow system endian.

Also drop the cpu_to_be32 for CRC calculation as it's wrong and would
cause different CRC on BE system.
The loaded word is swapped internally and MAILBOX calculates the CRC on
the swapped word. To correctly calculate the CRC to be later matched
with the one from MAILBOX, use an u8 struct and swap the word there to
keep the same order on both LE and BE for crc_ccitt_false function.
Also add additional comments on how the CRC verification for the loaded
section works.

CRC is calculated as we load the section and verified with the MAILBOX
only after the entire section is loaded to skip additional slowdown by
loop the section data again.
