You should generall not use bitfields in hardware data structures, as that is
not endian safe and will prevent running a big-endian kernel on this machine.
Better convert this to a set of __le32 fields and explicit shifts and masks.

Two smaller things you should think about, I'm not entirely sure about these:

I think one of these needs to be readl() instead of readl_relaxed(),
to ensure the data is correctly ordered with regard to the pointer
access.

While this looks like it could be writel_relaxed().
