[openfabrics-ewg] mstflint error on ppc64 bug fix

[Moshe Kazir]

Michael,
 
Looking at the attached error file will show a big endian data displayed
in wrong little endian order.
 
The attached file mstflint2.patch fix this problem.
 
The  mstflint2.patch  has to be used after mstflint.patch packed in the
OFED-1.1 openib.tgz.(user_patches...)
 
The patch change only the displayed data and not the program's used
internal structures , as I found that data write is performed o.k.
 and I did not want to cause errors in the writing process .
  
Moshe

	Subject: mstflint error on ppc64
	
	
	Hi Michael,
	 
	The output of mstflint is changed on ppc64 as result of byte
ordering issues.
	 
	If you take a HCA that was burned using x86_64 or Mellanox
manufacturing  and perform mstflint -d ... q  on ppc64
	you'll find that the value of PSID VSD and Board Id was changed.
	 
	I tried to look at the code to find the error,
	 
	but then I saw that vsd is defined twice in the code according
to it's usage (char[205], or unsigned int[52] )
	 
	Can you please look and help ?
	 
	Best regards,
	 
	Moshe
