Subject[PATCH] tools: usb: ffs-test: Fix build on big endian systems
Date
From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com>

The tools/usb/ffs-test.c file defines cpu_to_le16/32 by using the C
library htole16/32 function calls. However, cpu_to_le16/32 are used when
initializing structures, i.e in a context where a function call is not
allowed.

It works fine on little endian systems because htole16/32 are defined by
the C library as no-ops. But on big-endian systems, they are actually
doing something, which might involve calling a function, causing build
failures, such as:

ffs-test.c:48:25: error: initializer element is not constant
#define cpu_to_le32(x) htole32(x)
^~~~~~~
ffs-test.c:128:12: note: in expansion of macro ‘cpu_to_le32’
.magic = cpu_to_le32(FUNCTIONFS_DESCRIPTORS_MAGIC_V2),
^~~~~~~~~~~

To solve this, we code cpu_to_le16/32 in a way that allows them to be
used when initializing structures. This fix was imported from
meta-openembedded/android-tools/fix-big-endian-build.patch written by
Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>.
