The new code is mostly better.
But is different on BE systems - who knows what is actually needed.
Depends what is being copied.

Actually I suspect that 'iobase' should be an __iomem structure
pointer, pqwCurrTSF a point of the same type and MAC_REG_xxxx
structure members.

Then the code should be using readl() not ioread32().
I very much doubt that 'iobase' is in PCI IO space.
