Most architectures include asm-generic/io.h, which contains a generic
implementation of readsl(). Maybe that #ifdef could be extended here?
I remember discussing this with you not so long ago, which led to
commit 0bbf47eab469 ("ia64: use asm-generic/io.h"). Do we have
a list of architectures that don't include asm-generic/io.h? Maybe
the 'depends on' could be for the set of architectures that fail here.

The __raw_readl() is probably correct here (I can't think of any
architecture on which it is not), but it still makes me feel uneasy
about possible endianess or other issues.

Maybe make this:?

        readsl(master->regs + RX_FIFO, &tmp, 1);
