Subject: [PATCH 00/11] wifi: ath12k: Fix endianness handling in QMI
Fix endianness handling in QMI firmware transfer on big-endian
platforms. Without this fix, the firmware download fails due to
misinterpreted data structures exchanged between the host and the
wireless module.
The issue occurs during early bring-up on big endian systems, where QMI
messages are not correctly parsed by the driver, leading to failed
initialization sequences. Ensure all relevant fields are properly
converted between CPU and little-endian format in request and response
messages, as expected by the firmware. Attached logs showing the failure
before the fix:
