This is more than a warning, it's a bug (though it has no
effect with a little-endian native CPU).

I suggest you add:

Fixes: ec558bbfea671 ("greybus: Add BeaglePlay Linux Driver")

Should your hdlc_payload->len field be defined as little-endian?
I've only scanned through this file at this point but I'm thinking
there might be other endianness fixes needed as well.
