[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/1] ALSA: CA0132 - Ensure SCP packet is little-endian format

[Ian Minett]

From: Ian Minett <ian_minett at creativelabs.com>

Hi Takashi,
Great - good to hear the previous DSP loader patches are now living in the 
hda-ca0132-dsp branch. This patch is based on that branch, and addresses 
the SCP packet endianness.

Do we need to do anything specific to handle this? The firmware is already 
restored upon S3 by the current caching code.

Thanks,
- Ian

The DSP firmware expects the SCP data to be in little-endian
format regardless of the host architecture.
