Subject: powerpc/powernv: Use CPU-endian hub diag-data type in pnv_eeh_get_and_dump_hub_diag()

From: Gavin Shan <[email protected]>

commit a7032132d7560a8434e1f54b71efd7fa20f073bd upstream.

The hub diag-data type is filled with big-endian data by OPAL call opal_pci_get_hub_diag_data(). We need convert it to CPU-endian value before using it. The issue is reported by sparse as pointed by Michael Ellerman:

eeh-powernv.c:1309:21: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer

This converts hub diag-data type to CPU-endian before using it in pnv_eeh_get_and_dump_hub_diag().
