Correct the endianness annotation of port assignments:
A host byte order value (RDS_TCP_PORT) is correctly converted to
network byte order (big endian) using htons. But it is then cast back to
host byte order before assigning to a variable that expects a big endian
value. Address this by dropping the cast.
This is not a bug because, while the endian annotation is changed by
this patch, the assigned value is unchanged.
Also correct the endianness of address assignment.
A host byte order value (INADDR_ANY) is incorrectly assigned as-is to
a variable that expects a big endian value. Address this by converting
the value to network byte order (big endian).
This is not a bug because INADDR_ANY is 0, which is isomorphic
with regards to endian conversions. IOW, while the endian annotation
is changed by this patch, the assigned value is unchanged.
Incorrect endian annotations appear to date back to IPv4-only code added

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 reStructuredText 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.
