Are there any endianness considerations for this structure?
No, I can't find anything in the ARM SMC Calling Convention document
indicating that.
The calling conventions have no bearing on the structure, which is our
invention.

We stash register values (which don't have endianness) returned by the
firmeware into the structure in the sequences above (which appear
endian-clean to me).
Ah yes, the structure is populated by the kernel not the firmware, so
there's nothing to worry about. Thanks for the explanation.
