This actually feels like a bug in spi_w8r16() - I'd expect it to be
returning native endian in the first place since in SPI a word is by
default big endian so I'd expect this to have more of a register I/O
model.  It certainly seems to match what almost all of the users are
doing.

That said I'm not sure this is worth fixing in which case the new API
makes sense.  Or converting the users to regmap I guess.
