The sparse build (C=2) finds some issues with how the driver dealt with the (very difficult) hardware that in some generations uses little-endian, and in others uses big endian, for the VLAN field. The code as written picks __le16 as a type and for some hardware revisions we override it to __be16 as done in this patch. This impacted the VF driver as well so fix it there too. Also change the vlan_tci assignment to override the sparse warning without changing functionality.

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.
