[PATCH 0/3] bootconfig: Make size and checksum fields le32

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

Hello,

This is a series of patches to make the size and the checksum fields
in the footer le32 instead of u32.

In the thread for alignment series[1], Steve pointed that the current
footer format didn't specify the endianness thus it is hard to apply
the bootconfig for cross-build initrd if the target endianness is
different from the host machine.

I've proposed that the hexadecimal ASCII string in the previous series
[2] but Linus pointed that making it le32 was enough.

So this just make those fields le32.

Thank you,
