Thanks for digging into this, now the problem is clear to me. At the
Linux side I think the CID is received by secure world with the bytes in
the expected order. You're original patch fixes this by byte swapping
the words as needed. However, I think that cpu_to_be32() should be used
instead for clarity. Then there's the issue of alignment with the
casting you do. It works today due to how the function is called, but
the compiler can't guarantee that since the struct rpmb_dev_info only
contains u8:s so it's only byte aligned. You need to handle that inside
the function.

Cheers,
Jens
