I was looking at the various aspects of the RMI4 patchset, trying to
fix the issues that I see, but there is one big issue that I simply do
not have time to tackle - the driver is completely broken on big endian
architectures due to reliance on bitfileds when exchanging the data with
the device.

Consider the following structures:

To make this work on BE boxes you either need to add #ifdefs to the
structures reversing the order of fields or use bit shifts and masks to
get/set specific bits in bytes.

I tried converting F01 code (you can see the [likely broken as I can't
test] result in my tree), but I really do not have time for F11.

Thanks.
