[ Upstream commit 7f54e00e5842663c2cea501bbbdfa572c94348a3 ]
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.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
