Like I said, we are reinterpreting the byte stream as a uint16_t
(= reading from bytestream to CPU). While writing out an uint16_t
as a bytestream is cpu_to_le16.


I didn't properly understand this. But you seem to be correct - now I
ran sparse check:

* using cpu_to_le16()

lib/lzo1x/lzo1x_decompress.c:140:23: warning: cast to restricted type
lib/lzo1x/lzo1x_decompress.c:156:14: warning: cast to restricted type

But still, how do I get rid of these two warnings? or, do these
warning suggest some real problem that still exist in code?
