Are there any big-endian machines using this driver? The original definition
of ltq_r32() uses non-byteswapping __raw_readl() etc, which suggests
that the registers might be wired up in a way that matches the CPU
endianess (this is usally a bad idea in hardware design, but nothing
we can influence in the OS).
When you change it to readl(), that will breaks all machines that rely
on the old behavior on big-endian kernels.
