Greg is not saying anything about the iotype checking there? Looks
more like confusion about what exactly is that patch trying to
achieve. I think Greg just thought you moved the writel call from
the beginning of the function to be called later inside the "else"
condition.

You need to start your series with a patch where you just separate the
lcr checking to its own function and follow that with patches where
you introduce the big-endian support. I think this is also what Andy
told you. Use the diff I gave you.

One more thing that I forgot to comment before:

Thanks,
