'mac_hi' and 'mac_lo' are 32 bit unsinged int but we are modifing
64 bit of memory during mac calculation. To fix this issue define
a local variable of 64 bit and do mac calculation.

Remove 'le64_to_cpu' to fix endian issue.

I'm not seeing any memory corruption.  How do you figure?

I've add Dhananjay to the CC list to comment on the endian change.

I would like to drop this patch.


Actually I was trying to simulate the code block by generating assembly code
which looked like  as shown below.  But later I realized it does not
fit with present scenario.
Its for different scenario.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 80483cb:	83 ec 2c             	sub    $0x2c,%esp
 80483ce:	66 c7 44 24 1e e1 2e 	movw   $0x2ee1,0x1e(%esp)
 80483d5:	66 c7 44 24 1c e1 2e 	movw   $0x2ee1,0x1c(%esp)
 80483dc:	0f b7 44 24 1c       	movzwl 0x1c(%esp),%eax
 80483e1:	c1 e0 04             	shl    $0x4,%eax
 80483e4:	88 44 24 1b          	mov    %al,0x1b(%esp)
 80483e8:	0f b6 5c 24 1b       	movzbl 0x1b(%esp),%ebx
 80483ed:	0f b7 4c 24 1c       	movzwl 0x1c(%esp),%ecx
 80483f2:	0f b7 54 24 1e       	movzwl 0x1e(%esp),%edx
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Following assembly code looks very near to present scenario.
And  there is no data loss .

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 804839a:	83 ec 10             	sub    $0x10,%esp
 804839d:	66 c7 44 24 0e e1 2e 	movw   $0x2ee1,0xe(%esp)
 80483a4:	66 c7 44 24 0c e1 2e 	movw   $0x2ee1,0xc(%esp)
 80483ab:	0f b7 44 24 0c       	movzwl 0xc(%esp),%eax
 80483b0:	ba 00 00 00 00       	mov    $0x0,%edx
 80483b5:	0f a4 c2 04          	shld   $0x4,%eax,%edx
 80483b9:	c1 e0 04             	shl    $0x4,%eax
 80483bc:	89 04 24             	mov    %eax,(%esp)
 80483bf:	89 54 24 04          	mov    %edx,0x4(%esp)
 80483c3:	b8 00 00 00 00       	mov    $0x0,%eax
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sorry for the inconvenience.


Regarding endian issue:
--------------------------------------
   Can Rajesh or Dhananjay comment on it ?
   Is "le64_to_cpu"  there intentionally ??

Yes , le64_to_cpu is intentional the NXRD32/readl will swap the bytes and at lower address
we will have MSB. So while referencing it with byte array we need a extra swap.
