Good, that should work.

You must have gotten this wrong: writesl() and the other variants
are used to copy byte streams, which are always in the correct
endianess, i.e. copying them one byte at a time should result in
the same in-memory representation as copying them four bytes at a time.
You should never need an additional swap in here.

I'd say that detecting endianess from the register is the safest
approach. We can also parse the standard DT properties to do the
same, but they can easily be stale, especially when the driver
has already gotten this wrong for some users.

I would definitely recommend doing this. If necessary there can
be an extra set of functions, but this is what a lot of drivers do
when you pass the device structure to an MMIO accessor.

__raw_readl() might not do what you want here, I'd always use readl()
for the detection without the extra le32_to_cpu().

In terms of micro-optimizing this, it may be better to use readl/writel
instead of ioread32/iowrite32: On most architectures they are the
same, but notably on x86, ioread32/iowrite32 is slightly slower
because of the indirection.

We probably only need to worry about the big-endian registers on
architectures that have an efficient ioread32be/iowrite32be.

My guess is that this leaves the big-endian powerpc machines broken, you
already have the correct byte stream using readsl/writesl or
ioread32_rep/iowrite32_rep.

If there is any location in the code that accesses the FIFO registers
readl/writel or a loop of those, that code should be changed to
use readsl/writesl so you don't have to double-swap the data.
