443 reg = cpu_to_be32(*pdata);
444 writel(reg, ebu_host->hsnand + HSNAND_CMSG_1);
On BE:
cpu_to_be32 -> no-op
writel() -> converts reg to LE
On LE:
cpu_to_be32 -> converts to BE
writel() -> no-op (in terms of conversion)
Seems to me that the proper API (if above is intended) should be swab32().
But something tells me that above is broken (or my understanding is wrong).
iowrite_be32() is the correct way to store word into a big-endian mmio register,
if that is the intention here.
Thank you for suggestions to use iowrite32be(), it suits exactly.
