Subject: [PATCH 5.4 15/29] ALSA: pci: fix reading of swapped values from pcmreg in AC97 codec

From: Giacomo Guiduzzi <guiduzzi.giacomo@...il.com>

commit 17aaf0193392cb3451bf0ac75ba396ec4cbded6e upstream.

Tests 72 and 78 for ALSA in kselftest fail due to reading
inconsistent values from some devices on a VirtualBox
Virtual Machine using the snd_intel8x0 driver for the AC'97
Audio Controller device.
Taking for example test number 72, this is what the test reports:
"Surround Playback Volume.0 expected 1 but read 0, is_volatile 0"
"Surround Playback Volume.1 expected 0 but read 1, is_volatile 0"
These errors repeat for each value from 0 to 31.

Taking a look at these error messages it is possible to notice
that the written values are read back swapped.
When the write is performed, these values are initially stored in
an array used to sanity-check them and write them in the pcmreg
array. To write them, the two one-byte values are packed together
in a two-byte variable through bitwise operations: the first
value is shifted left by one byte and the second value is stored in the
right byte through a bitwise OR. When reading the values back,
right shifts are performed to retrieve the previously stored
bytes. These shifts are executed in the wrong order, thus
reporting the values swapped as shown above.

This patch fixes this mistake by reversing the read
operations' order.
