STOP! In a follow up discussion Alex and I figured out that this won't work.

The value in the structure is byte swapped based on some firmware 
endianness which not necessary matches the CPU endianness.

Please revert that one from going upstream if it's already on it's way.

And because of those reasons I strongly think that patches like this 
should go through the DRM tree :)

Christian.
