Ehm I am pretty sure it doesn't:

rtl8723au_hal_init.c:265
        pHalData->FirmwareVersion = le16_to_cpu(pFwHdr->Version);
	pHalData->FirmwareSubVersion = pFwHdr->Subversion;
	pHalData->FirmwareSignature = le16_to_cpu(pFwHdr->Signature);

If anything, the second assignment there should be changed to use
le16_to_cpu(), but your conversion is definitely wrong.

NACK
