so the issue is simply that the endiannes anotatoin is missing even 
though the conversion is being done - with other words there is no code
lvel funcitonal bug here but rather sparse needs the anotation to verify
correctness and that is missing. Just want to make sure I understand
this before I try to "fix" a sparse warning.
