[ Upstream commit 767975e582c50b39d633f6e1c4bb99cc1f156efb ]
Currently, hns3 mailbox processing between PF and VF missed to convert
message byte order and use data type u16 instead of __le16 for mailbox
data process. These processes may cause problems between different
architectures.
So this patch uses __le16/__le32 data type to define mailbox data
structures. To be compatible with old hns3 driver, these structures use
one-byte alignment. Then byte order conversions are added to mailbox
messages from PF to VF.

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.
