the code has changed here - please rebase it on the top of net-next tree.

but this seems to me the way back. If cadence IP is big-endian then you can you what
I have suggested to you before. Just do endian detection on IP itself.
It means one checking will be for arm platforms if cpu runs big or little endian
and if IP is big on little endian.
It will end up in dynamic IO real/write functions which seems to the best way to go.
Of course doing this in this style means to add one more load in every io operations
but I don't think this is impact performance a lot.

Thanks,
Michal
