Wrong on BE platforms with legacy interface, isn't it?
We generally don't handle legacy properly in VDPA so it's
not a huge deal, but maybe add a comment at least?
Sure, I can add a comment here: this is for modern devices only.

Thanks,
Zhu Lingshan
Hmm. what "this" is for modern devices only here?
this cast, for LE modern devices.
I think status existed in legacy for sure, and it's possible that
some legacy devices backported mtu and max_virtqueue_pairs otherwise
we would have these fields as __le not as __virtio, right?
yes, that's the reason why it is virtio_16 than just le16.

I may find a better solution to detect whether it is LE, or BE without a
virtio_dev structure.
Check whether vdpa_device->get_device_features() has VIRTIO_F_VERISON_1. If
the device offers _F_VERSION_1, then it is a LE device,
or it is a BE device, then we use __virtio16_to_cpu(false, config.status).

Does this look good?
No since the question is can be a legacy driver with a transitional
device.  I don't have a good idea yet. vhost has VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN
and maybe we need something like this for config as well?
