Parse to and export from UUID own type, before dereferencing.
This also fixes wrong comment (Little Endian UUID is something else)
and should eliminate the direct strict types assignments.

Fixes: 43001c52b603 ("powerpc/papr_scm: Use ibm,unit-guid as the iset cookie")
Fixes: 259a948c4ba1 ("powerpc/pseries/scm: Use a specific endian format for storing uuid from the device tree")

Do we need the Fixes: there? It didn't change any functionality right? 
The format with which we stored cookie1 remains the same with older and 
newer code. The newer one is better?
