be_get_fw_log_level()/be_set_fw_log_level() look slightly fishy as well:
the latter has
if (cfgs->module[i].trace_lvl[j].mode == MODE_UART)
cfgs->module[i].trace_lvl[j].dbg_lvl =
cpu_to_le32(level);
while the former
if (cfgs->module[0].trace_lvl[j].mode == MODE_UART)
level = cfgs->module[0].trace_lvl[j].dbg_lvl;
and returns level without further conversions. The caller of be_cmd_set_...()
pass a host-endian value as level (48 or 64); the caller of be_cmd_get_...()
expect a host-endian return value - it compares the result with 48.
There's almost certainly a missing conversion somewhere; at a guess -
le32_to_cpu() on the be_cmd_get_...() side.
