Some drivers have their own hacks to bypass the kernel's firmware loader
and build their firmware into the kernel; this renders those unnecessary.

Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always
want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the
firmware loader.

A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be
used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd.
This allows them to work in a static kernel.

In preparation for supporting firmware files linked into the static
kernel, make fw->data const to ensure that users aren't modifying it (so
that we can pass a pointer to the original in-kernel copy, rather than
having to copy it).

Fix a const pointer usage warning in the Digigram miXart soundcard driver.  A
const pointer is being passed to copy_from_user() to load the firmware into.
This is okay in this case because the function has allocated the firmware
struct itself, but the const qualifier is part of the firmware struct - so the
patch casts the const away.

Standardise both in-kernel and loaded firmware to be stored as
little-endian instead of host-endian.
Signed-off-by: NDavid Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

The maestro3 driver is byte-swapping its firmware to be host-endian in
advance, when it doesn't seem to be necessary -- we could just use
le16_to_cpu() as we load it.

Doing that means that we need to switch the in-tree firmware to be
little-endian too.

Take the least intrusive way of doing this, which is to switch the
existing snd_m3_convert_from_le() function to convert _to_ little-endian
instead, and use it on the in-tree firmware instead of the loaded
firmware. It's a bit suboptimal but doesn't matter much right now
because we're about to remove the special cases for the in-tree version
anyway.
