There is no porting involved. Almost all of the device driver code in
Linux is portable. There is no x86 specific assembly involved. So you
should just be able to recompile the driver and run.
However, in practice there are porting issues, which revolve around
- 64 bit cleanliness issues (Linux MIPS seems to be 32 bit - so
you're ok
there)

Apart from that, the driver should just work.
