I am not sure if that would be a wise idea,
there is no byte ordering done in rt2500usb except for the EEPROM
contents which is little endian.
So when the module is used on a normal x86 platform, there won't be
any big endian structures or fields.
Well, then you'll need __le* annotation and the le*_to_cpu/cpu_to_le*
instead.  Any new driver should be endian clean.
