well, the commit suggested is this one:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=commitdiff;h=bf5f0019046d596d613caf74722ba4994e153899


This little hack fix my problem:

but instead, why am I obliged to read it as little endian to have the correct value? 

thanks for your help,
