Can you calculate an void *end pointer before the loop and avoid this
very long condition?

Apply the byteswap to the constant so it's done at compilation time.

dev_warn(), also do yourself a favor and print what the values were.

Does this really need to be printed on every boot?

dev_dbg()

alignment is off
