Yes, but I checked and that's not used anywhere in the bluetooth code
yet, so I thought I'd stay consistent for now.

Fine with me, though FWIW that not only doesn't use
__constant_cpu_to_le16() but actually swaps the non-constant value.

Also, it would have been nice if that fix was promoted to stable, so I
wouldn't have had to spend a good part of the weekend bisecting...

I know, that's why I only put the stable tag in commit logs but don't
submit patches there via e-mail.
