Sure. I can write a dedicated patch to convert all of the locations at once.

A couple of questions -

I see that for 16, as an example, there are three functions:
1) mmio_write16_le()
2) mmio_write16_be()
3) mmio_write16()
Per my understanding the first two do not manipulate the data and are only intended to
allow sparse to pass (and protect us). However the 3rd performs htole.
Is this correct?

#define MAKE_WRITE(_NAME_, _SZ_)                                               \
        static inline void _NAME_##_be(void *addr, __be##_SZ_ value)           \
        {                                                                      \
                atomic_store_explicit((_Atomic(uint##_SZ_##_t) *)addr,         \
                                      (__force uint##_SZ_##_t)value,           \
                                      memory_order_relaxed);                   \
        }                                                                      \
What is the effect of the "relaxed ordering" if we use a non-WC BUS?

Thanks,
Ram
