These functions are endian specific and just generally ugly. I
understand that these functions may make the ssbi regmap code cleaner,
but that's not really a good excuse for functions which by themselves
look horribly broken.

If these are really needed, perhaps something like the following would
be acceptable?

+static inline int
+ssbi_reg_read(void *context, unsigned int reg, unsigned int *val)
+{
+	int rc;
+	u8 b;
+	rc = ssbi_read(context, reg, &b, 1);
+	if (rc == 1)
+		*val = b;
+	return rc;
+}
+
+static inline int
+ssbi_reg_write(void *context, unsigned int reg, unsigned int val)
+{
+	u8 b = val;
+	return ssbi_write(context, reg, &b, 1);
+}
