If you would change such references to something like
|return le32_to_cpup(&key->j32[1]) >> UBIFS_S_KEY_BLOCK_BITS;
then on powerpc

text data bss dec hex filename
155384 1284 24 156692 26414 ubifs-b4.ko
155372 1284 24 156680 26408 ubifs-after.ko

because now it is possible to load the value as LE from memory instead
of loading it BE and swapping it afterwads.

This and the previous change look like a bugfix for something that
should trigger during recovery or something? Shouldn't I fail in
ubifs_validate_entry() during recovery?

another micro optimisation would be to use __constant_cpu_to_le32()
