Subject: [PATCH 4.4 35/36] iio: vcnl4000: Fix i2c swapped word reading.

From: Mathieu Othacehe <m.othacehe@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 18dfb5326370991c81a6d1ed6d1aeee055cb8c05 ]

The bytes returned by the i2c reading need to be swapped
unconditionally. Otherwise, on be16 platforms, an incorrect value will be
returned.

Taking the slow path via next merge window as its been around a while
and we have a patch set dependent on this which would be held up.
