Actually, the specific case I'm interested in is one where I have an
SOC built around an ARM core running in little-endian mode, in which
the Designware IP has been instantiated and hooked up (to the internal
data bus) in big endian format.
This patch could also come in handy, for example, if someone were to
run an armeb kernel on an SOC where the DW IP has been instantiated
and hooked up in little endian format (as is probably the case for
most ARM-based SOCs out there).
I think this is currently an oditity, most ARM systems are still armel,
especiailly since very few distributions do armeb
For the latter case, I definitely agree with you. Still, this patchset
solves a problem which is very real (for me!) where I'm running an armel
build and interfacing to a big endian DW I2C device.
