[PATCH] [SCSI] bfa: Fix endian bug in bfad_iocmd_debug_fw_core().

[santosh nayak]

From: Santosh Nayak <santoshprasadnayak@xxxxxxxxx>

Casting pointer from native data type to other type is
endian-sensitive.

"iocmd->offset"  is 64 bit but we use only first 32 bit.
It works in little-endian system but in big-endian system
it will break.
