[PATCH] RDMA/cxgb4: "cookie" can stay in host endianness

[Paul Bolle]

Work requests are passed and reflected between the host and the
firmware with a "cookie". This cookie is swapped to big endianness when
passed to the firmware and to host endianness on reflection. This
swapping seems to be implemented incorrectly. Moreover, the byte
swapping triggers GCC warnings on 32 bit:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/cm.c: In function âpassive_ofld_conn_replyâ:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/cm.c:2803:12: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
    drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/cm.c: In function âsend_fw_pass_open_reqâ:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/cm.c:2941:16: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
    [...]

But byte swapping isn't needed as the firmware doesn't actually touch
the cookie. Dropping byte swapping makes the warnings go away too.

0) Compile tested only (but on 32 and 64 bit little endian).

1) Please have a careful look at my commit explanation. It's mostly a
bit of creative writing based on my understanding of Steve's feedback.
