As i can see, cpu_to_le32 and others macros, are usable only when FTL
reading the FTL header. But when the ftl_fromat utility creates an ftl
partition, it doesn't swap any field of the header.
So, it doesn't matter on which endianity the FTL driver and ftl_format
works, it must be the same only.
Am i wrong?
