The igb driver was trying hard to be sparse correct, but somehow ended up converting a variable into little endian order and then tries to OR something with it. A much plainer way of doing things is to leave all variables and OR operations in CPU (non-endian) mode, and then convert to little endian only once, which is what this change does. This probably fixes a bug that might have been seen only on big endian systems.

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.
