> We were casting the addr as __beXX and then passing it into le32_to_cpu
> because the device expects the MAC address to be in network order even
> though the register set is little endian. Instead of casting it as __beXX
> we can just cast it as __leXX in order to maintain consistency since the
> region of memory is already in little endian order as far as we are
> concerned.
