The igb PTP code was using htons() on a constant to try to byte swap the value before writing it to a register. This byte swap has the consequence of triggering sparse conflicts between the register write which expect cpu ordered input, and the code which generated a big endian constant. Just override the cast to make sure code doesn't change but silence the warning. Can't do a __swab16 in this case because big endian systems would then write the wrong value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
