[RFC][PATCH] apparent big-endian bugs in dwc-xlgmac

In xlgmac_dev_xmit():

                        /* Mark it as a CONTEXT descriptor */
                        dma_desc->desc3 = XLGMAC_SET_REG_BITS_LE(
                                                dma_desc->desc3,
                                                TX_CONTEXT_DESC3_CTXT_POS,
                                                TX_CONTEXT_DESC3_CTXT_LEN,
                                                1);



Looking at XLGMAC_SET_REG_BITS_LE() we see this:
#define XLGMAC_SET_REG_BITS_LE(var, pos, len, val) ({                   \
        typeof(var) _var = (var);                                       \
        typeof(pos) _pos = (pos);                                       \
        typeof(len) _len = (len);                                       \
        typeof(val) _val = (val);                                       \
        _val = (_val << _pos) & GENMASK(_pos + _len - 1, _pos);         \
        _var = (_var & ~GENMASK(_pos + _len - 1, _pos)) | _val;         \
        cpu_to_le32(_var);                                              \
})

That thing assumes var to be host-endian and has a little-endian result.
Unfortunately, we feed it a little-endian and store the result back into
the same place.  That might work if the original values *was* host-endian
and we wanted to end up with little-endian.  However, that is immediately
followed by
                        /* Indicate this descriptor contains the MSS */
                        dma_desc->desc3 = XLGMAC_SET_REG_BITS_LE(
                                                dma_desc->desc3,
                                                TX_CONTEXT_DESC3_TCMSSV_POS,
                                                TX_CONTEXT_DESC3_TCMSSV_LEN,
                                                1);

where we operate on the now definitely little-endian value.  That really
can't be right.  I don't have the hardware in question, so I can't test
that, but it smells like this needs something like diff below, making
XLGMAC_SET_REG_BITS_LE take le32 and return le32.  GET side of things
is le32 -> u32; definition looks correct, but slightly misannotated.
