net: rnpgbe: fix mailbox endianness and remove pointer casts

The rnpgbe mailbox exchanges data through 32-bit MMIO registers in
little-endian wire format. The original code had two problems:

  1. FW structs (with __le16/__le32 fields) were cast to (u32 *)
     before reaching the mailbox transport, hiding the endian
     annotations from sparse.

  2. No cpu_to_le32()/le32_to_cpu() conversion was done between
     CPU-endian MMIO values and the little-endian payload, causing
     data corruption on big-endian systems.

Fix by adding the missing byte-order conversions in the transport
layer and introducing union wrappers (mbx_fw_cmd_req_u,
mbx_fw_cmd_reply_u) that overlay each FW struct with a __le32
dwords[] array. Callers fill named fields using cpu_to_le16/32(),
then pass dwords[] to the transport, which now takes explicit
__le32 * instead of u32 *. This eliminates all pointer casts on
the mailbox data path and lets sparse verify the conversions.
