|
|    of: Add helper function to check MMIO register endianness
|
|    SoC peripherals can come in several different flavors:
|
|     - little-endian: registers always need to be accessed in LE mode (so the
|       kernel should perform a swap if the CPU is running BE)
|
|     - big-endian: registers always need to be accessed in BE mode (so the
|       kernel should perform a swap if the CPU is running LE)
|
|     - native-endian: the bus will automatically swap accesses, so the kernel
|       should never swap
|
|    Introduce a function that checks an OF device node to see whether it
|    contains a "big-endian" or "native-endian" property.  For the former case,
|    always return true.  For the latter case, return true iff the kernel was
|    built for BE (implying that the BE MMIO accessors do not perform a swap).
|    Otherwise return false, assuming LE registers.
|
|    LE registers are assumed by default because most existing drivers (libahci,
|    serial8250, usb) always use readl/writel in the absence of instructions
|    to the contrary, so that will be our fallback.
