Marc Kleine-Budde 4ba1cb39fc can: gs_usb: fix endianess problem with candleLight firmware
The firmware on the original USB2CAN by Geschwister Schneider Technologie
Entwicklungs- und Vertriebs UG exchanges all data between the host and the
device in host byte order. This is done with the struct
gs_host_config::byte_order member, which is sent first to indicate the desired
byte order.

The widely used open source firmware candleLight doesn't support this feature
and exchanges the data in little endian byte order. This breaks if a device
with candleLight firmware is used on big endianess systems.

To fix this problem, all u32 (but not the struct gs_host_frame::echo_id, which
is a transparent cookie) are converted to __le32.

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.
