You are correct, byte swapping is not really needed in this cases. It should read/write data as it is. I will fix it in next version.
I'm also not entirely able to convince myself that the above error checks and code line up with what I'd expect the userspace ABI to be, we seem to be treating offset as both a byte offset into the data (which is what I'd expect the userspace ABI to do) and a word based index into the data (which is what the regmap API is doing). For example with 16 bit words offset 2 will start at the 5th byte of data but if userspace seeks to offset 5 it will get the 11th byte and onwards.
Thanks for spotting this, Yes, the offset from userspace should be treated as byte oriented and the offset to regmap as word based index into the data.
Yes, logic here needs a fix to handle data correctly.
The stride and the word size are separate, they will frequently line up for memory mapped devices but typically won't for other devices. I think you need more data mangling to handle this robustly.
Yes, I agree I will address this too in next version. thanks, srini
