It might be better to test the comparisons using
a cpu_to_le32 of the constants.

static inline int nv_has_work(struct fe_priv *np)
{
	if (nv_optimized(np))
		return ((np->get_rx.ex != np->put_rx.ex) &&
			!(np->get_rx.ex->flaglen & cpu_to_le32(NV_RX2_AVAIL))) ||
		       ((np->get_tx.ex != np->put_tx.ex) &&
			!(np->get_tx.ex->flaglen & cpu_to_le32(NV_TX_VALID)));

	return ((np->get_rx.orig != np->put_rx.orig) &&
		!(np->get_rx.orig->flaglen & cpu_to_le32(NV_RX_AVAIL))) ||
	       ((np->get_tx.orig != np->put_tx.orig) &&
		!(np->get_tx.orig->flaglen & cpu_to_le32(NV_TX_VALID)));
}
