While I have nothing against replacing the __u<width>, this makes me
worried. How, if at all, is the endianess of these fields handled in the
code?

Ok, I see now it's using cpu_to_be16s after writing host-endian data
into it. Could you clean that to use cpu_to_be16 instead (you may need
to update an error message too)?

Note that the wBaudRate assignment was still using __u16 after this
patch.

Cast not needed.

Thanks,
