Support for big-endian platforms (as well as AP mode) for iwlwifi is currently *planned* to be added by Intel in the near future for several purposes.
However, the vast majority of iwlwifi users at this point run it over little-endian platforms. _Delaying_ the inclusion of iwlwifi driver will not assist iwlwifi-over-big-endian-platform users in any way, but the impact on the rest of the users is clear.
All Linux drivers that use the proper APIs are transparently portable to either little endian or big endian, 32-bit or 64-bit machines.
If your driver is not portable, then it is not using the proper APIs, and needs updating.
Next time, write the driver using the correct APIs and you will not run into these sort of problems...
