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

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
