This seems like the wrong fix.

commit d97cf70af09721ef416c61faa44543e3b84c9a55
Author: Greg Ungerer <gerg@...ux-m68k.org>

    m68k: use asm-generic/io.h for non-MMU io access functions
    
    There is nothing really special about the non-MMU m68k IO access functions.
    So we can easily switch to using the asm-generic/io.h functions.

So it rather than put something back which there is an aim to remove,
please find the generic replacement. This _swapw() swaps a 16 bit
word. The generic for that is swab16().

I'm also surprised it took 6 years to find this. Has something else
changed recently?
