These functions definitely need some comments regarding why this is necessary.
I assume that after 8 rounds of review (that I did not read) this has been
discussed already, so please explain above the functions why you don't just
use ioread32be/ioread32 and iowrite32be/iowrite32 here.

Also all callers seem to be of the style

       val = ftm_readl(fpc->big_endian, fpc->base + FTM_SC);

so I wonder why you don't just pass the fpc pointer to the function
and make it

static inline void ftm_readl(struct fsl_pwm_chip *fpc, unsigned long reg, u32 val)
{
	if (fpc->big_endian)
		iowrite32be(val, fpc->base + reg);
	else
		iowrite32(val, fpc->base + reg);
}
