Hello, This is a series of patches to make the size and the checksum fields in the footer le32 instead of u32.
In the thread for alignment series[1], Steve pointed that the current footer format didn't specify the endianness thus it is hard to apply the bootconfig for cross-build initrd if the target endianness is different from the host machine. I've proposed that the hexadecimal ASCII string in the previous series [2] but Linus pointed that making it le32 was enough. So this just make those fields le32.
