Subject: [RESEND PATCH 05/14] MIPS: lantiq: Unselect SWAP_IO_SPACE when LANTIQ is selected

SWAP_IO_SPACE macro prevents serial driver /drivers/tty/serial/lantiq.c
to use readl/writel to replace ltq_r32/w32 which are SoC or platform
specific APIs.

readl/writel are used for this serial driver to support multiple
platforms and multiple architectures. The legacy lantiq platform(Danube)
enables SWAP_IO_SPACE for supporting PCI due to some hardware bugs.

It's a little-endian bus plus PCI TX/RX swap enable impacted both data
and control path for MIPS based platforms. But it is better to let PCI
device driver to do endian swap since SWAP_IO_SPACE is a global wide macro
which potentially impacts other peripheral like USB.
ltq_r32/ltq_w32 is not impacted in other device drivers based on MIPS when
SWAP_IO_SPACE is not selected as they use non-byte swapping OS API
(__raw_read/__raw_writel).
