Re: [PATCH] greybus: gb-beagleplay: fix restricted __le16 degrades to integer warning

[Ayush Singh <ayushdevel1325@gmail.com>]

I apologize for the late response (college exams were going on).

I will go through the driver to find if any other endianness fixes are 
needed.

As for `hdlc_payload->len`, the whole `hdlc_payload` is an abstraction 
to store array length with the actual pointer. The len is never actually 
sent over HDLC, so it should be fine.
