Don't put a diff in a diff please, git _should_ handle it, but I know
other tools that will choke on it.

{sigh} I should read all patches in the series before complaining about
previous ones, sorry about that.
Looks much better, except for the function name.

Note, this #ifdef really should never be in kernel code if you are doing
things properly. There are functions to handle this correctly...
Things get "fun" when you have devices in one endian running on busses
of other endian. Hopefully this driver never has to deal with that, but
for many others we do, so please stick with the normal functions to
handle this whenever possible.
