Unfortunately le16_to_cpu() is not exactly what's needed here, and if
I re-implement the above in terms of it:
static inline unsigned usb_get_uint16(__u8 const *p)
{
typedef __u16 __u16_alias __attribute__((__may_alias__));
__u16 v = *(__u16_alias*)p;
return le16_to_cpu(v);
}
it will bring back alignment issues (the 'p' could be mis-aligned for
__u16 type access).
