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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
