Subject: [PATCH 3.18 07/56] ALSA: vx222: Fix invalid endian conversions

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit fff71a4c050ba46e305d910c837b99ba1728135e upstream.

The endian conversions used in vx2_dma_read() and vx2_dma_write() are
superfluous and even wrong on big-endian machines, as inl() and outl()
already do conversions.  Kill them.

Spotted by sparse, a warning like:
  sound/pci/vx222/vx222_ops.c:278:30: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
