All fields in the PE are big-endian. Use cpu_to_be32() like everywhere else something is written to the PE. Otherwise a wrong TID will be used by the NPU. If this TID happens to point to an existing thread sharing the same mm, it could be woken up by error. This is highly improbable though. The likely outcome of this is the NPU not finding the target thread and forcing the AFU into sending an interrupt, which userspace is supposed to handle anyway.
