You cannot change a base driver file except the osdep header where
FM10K_CPU_TO_LE32 is defined.

I don't understand why it doesn't give you a constant, given this definition:

#define rte_bswap32(x) ((uint32_t)(__builtin_constant_p(x) ?        \                                            
                   rte_constant_bswap32(x) :        \
                   rte_arch_bswap32(x)))

Have you tried CONFIG_RTE_FORCE_INTRINSICS=y ?
It should trigger this definition:

#define rte_bswap32(x) __builtin_bswap32(x)
