modpost: fix tee MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE built on big-endian host
When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, ) is built on a host with a different endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect MODULE_ALIAS(). For example, see a case where drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.c is built as a module for ARM little-endian. If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct MODULE_ALIAS: $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c MODULE_ALIAS("tee:ab7a617c-b8e7-4d8f-8301-d09b61036b64*"); However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong MODULE_ALIAS: $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c MODULE_ALIAS("tee:646b0361-9bd0-0183-8f4d-e7b87c617aab*"); The same problem also occurs when you enable CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, and build it on a little-endian host. This issue has been unnoticed because the ARM kernel is configured for little-endian by default, and most likely built on a little-endian host (cross-build on x86 or native-build on ARM). The uuid field must not be reversed because uuid_t is an array of __u8.
