This looks like it would add a sparse warning, not fix one, unless you also
change the types of the target structure.

You dropped the '%' operation, and the result of the byteswap?

This looks correct, but the error value has already been copied into the local
'error' variable, which you could use for simplification. As 'status_block' is
defined as a native_endian structure, this also introduced a sparse warning.

Same here
