Subject: [PATCH net] net: rnpgbe: fix mailbox endianness handling
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:35:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617083531.251119-1-dong100@mucse.com> (raw)
Mailbox data is exchanged through 32-bit MMIO accesses but the
mailbox payload is defined using little-endian FW structures with
__le16 and __le32 fields.
The mailbox read/write helpers previously operated on raw u32
buffers without performing endian conversion. On big-endian
systems this causes mailbox payload fields to be byte-swapped in
memory, resulting in corrupted FW command and reply structures.
Convert mailbox data between CPU-endian MMIO values and the
little-endian mailbox wire format using cpu_to_le32() on reads and
le32_to_cpu() on writes.
Also switch the helper interfaces to use void */const void * since
the mailbox transport layer operates on opaque payload buffers
rather than native-endian u32 arrays.
Fixes: 4543534c3ef5 ("net: rnpgbe: Add basic mbx ops support")
