Simon Horman 4b72610379 net: usb: sr9700: only store little-endian values in __le16 variable ...

In sr_mdio_read() the local variable res is used to store both
little-endian and host byte order values. This prevents Sparse
from helping us by flagging when endian miss matches occur - the
detection process hinges on the type of variables matching the
byte order of values stored in them.

Address this by adding a new local variable, word, to store little-endian
values; change the type of res to int, and use it to store host-byte
order values.

Flagged by Sparse as:

.../sr9700.c:205:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
.../sr9700.c:205:21:    expected restricted __le16 [addressable] [usertype] res
.../sr9700.c:205:21:    got int
.../sr9700.c:207:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
.../sr9700.c:207:21:    expected restricted __le16 [addressable] [usertype] res
.../sr9700.c:207:21:    got int
.../sr9700.c:212:16: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different base types)
.../sr9700.c:212:16:    expected int
.../sr9700.c:212:16:    got restricted __le16 [addressable] [usertype] res

Compile tested only.
No functional change intended.
