firmware: thead: Fix buffer overflow and use standard endian macros
Addresses two issues in the TH1520 AON firmware protocol driver:
1. Fix a potential buffer overflow where the code used unsafe pointer
arithmetic to access the 'mode' field through the 'resource' pointer
with an offset. This was flagged by Smatch static checker as:
"buffer overflow 'data' 2 <= 3"
2. Replace custom RPC_SET_BE* and RPC_GET_BE* macros with standard
kernel endianness conversion macros (cpu_to_be16, etc.) for better
portability and maintainability.
The functionality was re-tested with the GPU power-up sequence,
confirming the GPU powers up correctly and the driver probes
successfully.
