net: dlink: Correct endian treatment of t_SROM data



As it's name suggests, parse_eeprom() parses EEPROM data.

This is done by reading data, 16 bits at a time as follows:

  for (i = 0; i < 128; i++)
    ((__le16 *) sromdata)[i] = cpu_to_le16(read_eeprom(np, i));

sromdata is at the same memory location as psrom.
And the type of psrom is a pointer to struct t_SROM.

As can be seen in the loop above, data is stored in sromdata, and thus
psrom, as 16-bit little-endian values. However, the integer fields of
t_SROM are host byte order.

In the case of the led_mode field this results in a but which has been
addressed by commit e7e5ae71 ("net: dlink: Correct endianness
handling of led_mode").

In the case of the remaining fields, which are updated by this patch,
I do not believe this does not result in any bugs. But it does seem
best to correctly annotate the endianness of integers.

Flagged by Sparse as:

  .../dl2k.c:344:35: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer

Compile tested only.
No run-time change intended.
