Convert confirm_rx to little endian when enqueueing by using cpu_to_le32(),
as big endian systems otherwise interpret the value incorrectly.

When receiving, apply le32_to_cpu(). !! ensures the result becomes 0 or 1
in native CPU endianness, so this conversion is not strictly required, but
it is kept for consistency, clarity, and future safety.

Hi Alexander,

It seems to me that the conversion is required if the code
runs on a Big Endian host. What is your thinking on this?

Hi Simon,

Yes, that is correct. The patch fixes the control flow on Big Endian platforms
only. It has no impact on Little Endian systems.

Thanks Alexander,

Please send a v2 with the commit message updated accordingly.

As this is a fix, please base the patch on the net tree.
And target that tree like this:

Subject: [PATCH v2 net] net: qrtr: fix handling of confirm_rx field

Or perhaps, making the subject slightly more descriptive:

Subject: [PATCH v2 net] net: qrtr: fix endian handling of confirm_rx field

Sure, I will improve the commit description in version 2.
