>ENETC has a 64-entry hash table for VLAN RX filtering per Station
>Interface, which is accessed through two 32-bit registers: VHFR0 holding
>the low portion, and VHFR1 holding the high portion.

>The enetc_set_vlan_ht_filter function looks at the pf->vlan_ht_filter
>bitmap, which is fundamentally an unsigned long variable, and casts it
>to a u32 array of two elements. It puts the first u32 element into VHFR0
>and the second u32 element into VHFR1.

>It is easy to imagine that this will not work on big endian systems
>(although, yes, we have bigger problems, because currently enetc assumes

>Let's use lower_32_bits and upper_32_bits which are designed to work
