Dear Ben,

I thought I brought this up already, but maybe not. Won't this break PowerPC? I'm pretty sure (value) != (cpu_to_le32(value)), isn't it?
Right.
Isn't the problem that writel() and readl() aren't byte-swapped on BE ARM?
Right. writel() and readl() are not a good choice for architecture independent code. AFAIK ioreadX(), iowriteX() are supposed to be architecture independent I/O accessors, but unfortunately not all architectures implement these yet.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
