I think we can't apply upstream patches as-is on distro version. Hence
Ankit attached backported patches. For reference upstream commits are :

diags: Fix endianess issues

SES enclosures follows network endianess. It works fine on big endian
machines but fails on little endian machines.

Unfortunately I didn't realize this issue earlier :-(

This patch addresses endianess issue across diagnostics code except
7031-D24/T24 enclosure... which is not supported on little endian
systems.
