[kmac] Revise Endianess in the Message FIFO

Problem:

    When the software writes partially and proceed the SHA3, the
    assertion inside sha3pad module fires. The assertion is to check
    when it is partial, the MSB of the strobe is always 0.

The strob and the data in partial completion was not expected value.
lower bytes of the message and lower bits of the strobe are 0 rather
than MSB as 0.

The data in between prim_packer and prim_fifo inside kmac_msgfifo module
was swapped always. The code was derived from HMAC.

It is correct to swap the data in HMAC. HMAC implements the hashing
logic in big-endian way. So the lower most bytes should be placed at the
higher most byte.

In KMAC, the message in SHA3 hashing module is converted into 3-D cube
form. The conversion logic assumes the data to be little-endian. Bit 0
is the actual bit 0 in the SHA3 specification. So, no need to convert
again.

This commit is to fix the issue above by assigning the data without
endian conversion.

About the project

OpenTitan is an open source silicon Root of Trust (RoT) project. OpenTitan will make the silicon RoT design and implementation more transparent, trustworthy, and secure for enterprises, platform providers, and chip manufacturers. OpenTitan is administered by lowRISC CIC as a collaborative project to produce high quality, open IP for instantiation as a full-featured product. See the OpenTitan site and OpenTitan docs for more information about the project.

About this repository

This repository contains hardware, software and utilities written as part of the OpenTitan project. It is structured as monolithic repository, or “monorepo”, where all components live in one repository. It exists to enable collaboration across partners participating in the OpenTitan project.
