Subject: [PATCH] mflash: remove small byteswapping function

Byteswap as we read in the data rather than having a
byteswap in place function that is only used once.

MG_SECTOR_SIZE >> 1 == 256 so this should be a no-op.

Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@...il.com>

Also, you always call mg_ide_fixstring with byteswap == 1,
I'd suggest removing that parameter and doing it unconditionally.
