The qfprom is a little endian device, but so far we've been
relying on the regmap mmio bus handling this for us without
explicitly stating that fact. After commit 4a98da2164cf
(regmap-mmio: Use native endianness for read/write, 2015-10-29),
the regmap mmio bus will read/write with the __raw_*() IO
accessors, instead of using the readl/writel() APIs that do
proper byte swapping for little endian devices.

So if we're running on a big endian processor and haven't
specified the endianness explicitly in the regmap config or in
DT, we're going to switch from doing little endian byte swapping
to big endian accesses without byte swapping, leading to some
confusing results. Specify the endianness explicitly so that the
regmap core properly byte swaps the accesses for us.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the fix.

I will send it to Greg for next rc.

Thanks. The change in regmap core that causes the problem is only
in -next. I'm not sure if it's going to hit mainline this release
cycle, so if it doesn't you could queue this for the next
version. No rush.
