I agree. I followed the reference in bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key().
I can keep v4 in net endianess too.

I felt it was more consistent with other fields and usually helpful for
programs. I can keep it in network order.
In which case, do you expect it to be typed as __be32 in bpf.h?
(I haven't seen other cases)?
Thanks for your feedback!
