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...
Ack. Basically same idea for coding style issues also.
Do it right the first time, don't have to redo it.
