Eric S. Stone 457c005aaf staging: gdm724x: update HCI structs with new bitwise types
Update the driver's HCI structs and associated endian-converter
functions with new driver-specific bitwise types. The new types
encourage correct endian-handling within the driver by triggering
sparse warnings when mixing with other types. The driver's
endian-converters provide correct and warning-free conversions.

Driver-specific bitwise types are used instead of the standard
endian-specific types because the attached device can be of either
endian. This is also why the driver has its own endian-conversion
functions, which consider endianness of both the cpu and the attached
device.

Introducing the new types to the converters fixes the sparse warnings:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
